{"title":"Maison Crochet","description":"\u003cp\u003eMost drinkers have never heard of Lorraine as a wine region, which is precisely what makes Wilfried Crochet's project so compelling. Working from the medieval village of Bulligny about 30 kilometres southwest of Nancy, he produces meticulous organic wines from a handful of hectares on limestone clay soils that the region once farmed in abundance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCrochet grew up in Champagne, where his family later moved to Lorraine in the 1990s and acquired vineyard land with the intention of making wine. Wilfried spent years working in Champagne, Burgundy, and the Rhône before returning to take over the family estate in 2016. His first act was to convert every parcel to organic farming. He also left the local AOC Côtes de Toul to gain the freedom to work outside regional regulations, bottling under Vin de France.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMore on how they farm and work in the cellar in our \u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/natural-wine-producers-primal-wine\/maison-crochet\"\u003eMaison Crochet producer profile\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"pet-native-maison-crochet-gamay-lorraine-natural-wine","title":"Maison Crochet Pét Native Gamay 2020","description":"\u003cp\u003eMaison Crochet's Pét Native is a pétillant naturel made from 100% Gamay grown on the Blaissières slope in Bulligny, a village in the Toulois area of Lorraine, roughly 30 kilometers southwest of Nancy. The Blaissières parcel sits on limestone and clay soils, south-facing, which is the same hillside that gives the estate its best fruit for sparkling wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe wine is made by méthode ancestrale: direct press of whole clusters, spontaneous fermentation with native yeast, and bottled before fermentation finishes so the wine completes its second fermentation in bottle. No fining, no filtration, no added sulfites. The result is a lightly fizzy, low-intervention sparkling wine with natural sediment — open carefully and serve cold.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMaison Crochet produces this wine as a Vin de France, having deliberately left the Côtes de Toul AOC to work outside its regulatory constraints. That choice gives Wilfried Crochet freedom to vinify 100% Gamay as a pétillant naturel, a format the appellation rules would not permit.
