Goedhuis, February 2007
Pretty and subtle on the nose, on the palate, its is superbly silky and discreet with fresh white peach, almond and floral notes. It finishes long on minerality and finesse adding to its feminine and sophisticated persona. Like Audrey Hepburn in "Charade".

Since inheriting his father’s parcels of old vines in 1990, François Cotat has become one of the most sought-after names in the Loire thanks to his cellar-worthy Sancerre. François' success and individuality can be attributed to his intense passion for creating the finest examples of Sauvignon Blanc and his exceptionally placed vineyards; his gift for producing long-lived wines from this varietal is unmatched. Four hectares of vines sit on outstanding terroirs outside the village of Chavignol where the steep south facing slopes are rich in Kimmeridgian marl, the same clay and limestone soils that give Chablis its distinctive character. Organic viticulture combined with densely planted vines, ultra-low yields and relatively late harvesting produces fantastically flavoursome fruit. In the winery, traditional non-intervention winemaking is the rule with little handling and no fining or filtration. A visit to their ancient cellar is a testament to this old-fashioned way of thinking. This is the way wines should be made - calmly, naturally and slowly.Read less
Region
Sancerre
The picturesque town of Sancerre perches atop a hill on the left bank of the Loire with vineyards planted on limestone and clay hillsides. A total of 14 villages and 3 hamlets have the rights to produce Sancerre, and, due to the increasing popularity of the wine, the area under vine trebled in the last quarter of the 20th century. Often considered the classic home of Sauvignon Blanc, good Sancerre is crisp, elegant and aromatic, and among the finest and most complex Sauvignons in the world. Delicate reds and roses are also made from Pinot Noir.
