Score 91/100 · Joel B Payne, Sep 2014
Light yellow. Sumptuous nose shows ripe pear, yellow plum and woodsmoke. Rich, slightly sweet pear and pit fruit flavors are held firm by a bitter lemon zest quality that packs a real punch. The finish lingers with excellent persistence, boasting a touch of talc, salty quinine and anise on the back of the palate.

About the producer
Domaine Francois 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.
