The King of Chavignol:
2015 Francois Cotat La Grande Côte

When it comes to Sancerre, Cotat's village of Chavignol is a special place. And La Grande Côte is king.

Subtle Complexity, Supreme Refreshment:
2015 François Cotat Sancerre Les Caillottes

François Cotat is know for his lavish, complex expressions of Sancerre. His Caillottes works on an entirely different wavelength.

The Damned Mountain:
2015 Gérard Boulay Sancerre Monts Damnés

Gérard Boulay's Sancerres are some of my favorite expressions of the appellation. The Boulay family has held land in Sancerre for over 600 years. Along with Vatan and the Cotat cousins, Boulay produces some of the most elegant, complex and long-lived Sancerre.

On Their Own Plane:
2015 François Cotat Les Monts Damnés

Check out the best wine lists or carefully selected cellars and it's a safe bet that you'll find François Cotat's wines.

Loire Icon:
2015 François Cotat Sancerre Les Culs de Beaujeu

François Cotat's Sancerres have long exemplified just how ageworthy, grand and compelling the wines can be. The wines really exist on their own plane. Only the Sancerres of Vatan and François' cousin Pascal are held in a similar regard.

Sancerre for the Ages:
2015 Pascal Cotat Monts Damnés and La Grande Côte

When it comes to Sancerre, Cotat's village of Chavignol is a very special place. Today, we focus on Chavignol's top two vineyards from one of the region's longstanding benchmarks. 

Loire Rarity in a Stunning Vintage:
2014 Pascal Cotat Sancerre Rosé

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.

One of the finest Sancerres of the vintage - 2012 Francois Cotat Monts Damnes

I have to admit it. Cotat's wines had fallen off my radar. Then, I had a bottle of 2000 Les Monts Damnés at a restaurant a month ago. Suddenly, I found myself looking at my storage and kicking myself for not buying more.
