Dominique et Janine Crochet Sancerre Rosé 2018

Many of our favorite roses have already sold out for the year and for those that remain there are precious few bottles to go around. While today’s offer is likely to sell out in just a few hours. Many of our rose options will be completely depleted for the year by this weekend. But – at least we’re going to go out on a bang!

As Covid thrashed the restaurant business all over the world, many like Restaurant Nicholas, Union Square & the rest of the Danny Meyer restaurants were forced to shut down. Often leaving caches of restaurant exclusive wines unsold. 

A few weeks ago, we were able to help out USHG team by selling their go-to by-the-glass Sancerre (24 bucks a glass & worth it!) to Nicholas Wines customers for less than $20 a bottle. Unfortunately, we’re back for round two. 

Just as Janine & Teddy Crochet were hitting their stride with the top restaurants in NYC, from Union Square Cafe to The Odeon, this year, there was no home for their inimitable Sancerre Rose to land. Lucky for us, I guess. The 2018 Crochet Sancerre Rose is drawn from the high elevations of Janine and Teddy Chrochet’s Pinot Noir vines in the village of Bue. The conditions are perfect for delicious Sancerre Rose. Salmon-pink in color to the brim. The nose is pretty, featuring aromas of roses and cherry fruits. The wine has terrific fruit, juicy citrus and berries which lead to a racy, high-toned finish that screams for good food. 

Bound for a few select NYC wine lists at $96 per bottle. $27 retail. Today – while it lasts just …. $18 per bottle, $16.20 per bottle on cases. That’s no typo.
