Sancerre Blanc, “Le Cul de Beaujeu”
SKU CCCB
Gilles Crochet gained access to the famous lieu-dit of “Les Cul de Beaujeu” in Chavignol starting with the 2009 vintage and made four barrels each year (600 liter demi-muids to minimize the oak influence) through the 2016 vintage, when the lease expired. The wine exhibits a masculine structure backed by a satisfying minerality.
