Pascal Cotat Chavignol La Grande Cote 2023

"Cotat Sancerre is simply some of the most singular Sauvignon Blanc

in the world. Like his cousin Pascal, François Cotat (with his winery

in Chavignol) crafts uncanny wines that defy both time and definition. These are wines that can age for decades, marrying richness with a laser- like cut and energy. The Cotat family has tended grapes on the slopes

of Chavignol since the end of World War II; it was in the 1990s when the two Cotat brothers, Paul and Francis, handed over the family domaine to their sons, François and Pascal, respectively. François Cotat as a rule harvests by hand and late, as pushing ripeness to the extreme is one element that gives his wines their weighty texture and complexity." -Importer notes
