Description

Lucien Crochet Sancerre Rouge 'La Croix du Roy' 2019From grapes harvested from several parcels which include a mix of stones and marne with south southeast exposure. After a manual harvest, the grapes are pressed and the fermentation proceeds for approximately 30 days. Both remontage and pigeage are done but the degree to which they are practiced depends on the structure of each vintage. Sixty percent of this cuve is aged in barrel and 40% in stainless steel for one year. The wine is then assembled

this comes from a 1910 planting of just 13 rows

Fermented spontaneously and aged 12 months in barrels with three years or more of age

Comprising 80% Pinot Noir and 20% Chardonnay from 35-year-old vines

but not here

The Prudhons own a solid hectare of vines between 30 and 60 years of age in this premier cru that lies just to the north of Les Perrières

although “Piante a Lapio” is marked notably less by veil-derived elements than a Jura Savagnin

The bottling takes place after two winters have passed

The fabled cru of Vignarionda in Serralunga d’Alba is one of the most singular in all of Barolo

but it nonetheless maintains a vein of elegance befitting its sandy soils of origin

it showcases the variety’s ability to deliver this zone’s volcanic essence with greater force and more blatant smoke than its peers

and harvested at 60 to 70 hectoliters per hectare

At their finest
