No Rosé on earth ages the way that Pascal Cotat's does.
Without question, it's one of the most serious and collected rosés around. This all adds up to it being in short supply. Allocations are typically a case or two.

2014 is a stellar vintage for the entire Loire, but this is especially true for Sancerre. The wines have such impact, length and balance. Pascal's 2014 Rosé has all the markers of being able to age beautifully.
When it comes to Sancerre, Cotat's village of Chavignol is a very special place. Chavignol is absolutely defined by its terroir - Kimmeridgian marl, the same soil as parts of Chablis - which imbues the wine with Chablis-like minerality.
With age, it's the terroir that comes to dominate this rosé with a singular minerality. There may be a silky texture and gentle floral notes, but it's the stony minerality that defines old Cotat rosé.
Recently, we opened a bottle of 2002 Rosé that was stunning. We bet that the 2014 will show brilliantly in a decade. Please give us your ideal order and we'll do our best.
