Domaine François Cotat

Sancerre’s leading producer, François Cotat is known for his idiosyncratic, age-worthy expressions of Sauvignon Blanc on Kimmeridgian soils, not to mention his prized rosé. Sometimes denied appellation status for their atypical style, these wines are some of the most collectable in the region.

This Sancerre estate’s origins stretch back to the 1940s, when brothers Francis and Paul Cotat started bottling wine under the Cotat name in the cellar of Chavignol. For many years, the same wines were bottled under two labels (Francis Cotat and Paul Cotat) – as a way to avoid higher taxes. When this loophole was closed by the French government, they decided to retire and pass the estate to their sons, François and Pascal, in 1998. The brothers divided the property and there have, since then, been two Cotat estates.
