Dominque et Janine Crochet Chene Marchand Sancerre 2022

A Nicholas Wines favorite every vintage and the perennial by-the-glass Sancerre at Gramercy Tavern and Danny Meyer’s other Union Square hot spots, this is always a fantastic bottle of Sancerre. We usually have the baseline wine from the Crochets, but in a stellar 2022 vintage, I also had to get their single-vineyard flagship bottling. It was an opportunity I couldn’t pass up.

The wine comes from a tiny plot in Le Chêne Marchand, which is among Sancerre’s most famous vineyards, known for fine combinations of “Caillotes” and “Griottes” coupled with excellent, southerly sun exposure.
Super intense aromatics with crisp stone fruits, Asian pear and that signature Bué minerality streak. It’s the perfect companion for seafood, and a wine that you can enjoy now and over the next 10-15 years, easy.
