Robert and Marie-Solange are descended from two families with long associations with Bué, a village 4km from the town of Sancerre itself and with a great and long standing reputation for producing some of the appellations best wines.

As far back as the 11th century Augustine monks recognised the superiority of the stretch of slopes on the edge of the village known as Le Chene Marchand.

Domaine Crochet is a small, family run producer with a respect for the best of traditional methods such as hand picking and selection at harvest. They are keen to embrace technology however where it gives them advantage and the wines are fermented in temperature controlled stainless steel vats.

The resulting wines are intensely flavoured with crisp, refreshing acidity and great length.

A proportion of the vineyards is planted with Pinot Noir which produces a fragrant, elegant dry red wine with flavours of raspberries and summer fruit.
