When it comes to Sancerre, Cotat's village of Chavignol is a very special place. Today, we focus on Chavignol's top vineyards from one of the region's long standing benchmarks.
François Cotat produces some of the greatest expressions of Sancerre (and Sauvignon Blanc) in the world.
François Cotat's Monts Damnés has served as an enduring benchmark of what's possible for Sancerre.
Gérard Boulay makes some of the most elegant, complex, and longest-lived Sancerres.
La Comtesse is his top wine. It originates from 50-70-year-old vines in a choice section of Mont Damnés in the Chavignol area. Vatan's famous Clos La Neore is close by.
La Grande Côte produces what may be the most profound expressions of Sauvignon Blanc.
It produces epic and soaring Sancerres that age brilliantly.
Generally speaking, you'd summarize Cotat's wines as deep, layered, and rich. Caillottes turns this characterization on its head. We like to think of Caillottes as the outlier in Cotat's lineup. It's also deliciously compelling.
For decades, Cotat's Sancerres have stood as the pinnacle of the appellation. Taste bottles of François Cotat with a healthy amount of time in the cellar and their importance only becomes more clear. Beyond Sancerre, they are simply great examples of mineral-drenched and slow-to-unfold regal wines.
When it comes to Sancerre, Cotat's village of Chavignol is a special place. And La Grande Côte is king.
François Cotat is know for his lavish, complex expressions of Sancerre. His Caillottes works on an entirely different wavelength.
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.
Check out the best wine lists or carefully selected cellars and it's a safe bet that you'll find François Cotat's wines.
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.
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.
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.
