9 months on lees, stainless steel fermentation. A blend of mostly Gamay (90%) plus a little Pinot Noir (10%), the palest pink in colour, a wine that offers Champange quality at a fraction of the price!

Located in Bulligny, a small village in Lorraine, about 30 kilometres southwest of Nancy, Maison Crochet is a family winery running an organic conversion vineyard of 5 hectares.

Wilfried Crochet interned Paul Jaboulet Ainé and after experiences in Russia, Greece and Australia and five years in Champagne, Wilfried felt it was time to go back home.

The wines are produced under “Vin de France” appellation which allows him more freedom. Low intervention, the wines are made under a natural winemaking process.

While near to the near-drought conditions of Alsace, the Lorraine region is on the other side of the Vosges Mountains and receives all the rain and clouds. Viticulture here is only for the heroic and Crochet demonstrates the rewards that come from careful farming and perseverance.
