Score 93/100 · Drink 2020-2026, Josh Raynolds, Aug 2019
Light bright orange. A highly complex bouquet evokes fresh red berries, pit fruits, honeydew melon and pungent flowers, along with a chalky mineral topnote and a touch of succulent herbs. Sappy and penetrating on the palate, offering densely packed strawberry, red currant, melon and white peach flavors that are given a refreshingly bitter edge by a late jolt of orange pith. Finishes extremely long and minerally, showing firm tension and lingering berry and floral character.

About the producer

Pascal Cotat
The other Cotat, Pascal Cotat, is cousin to the legendary François Cotat. The original family domaine was divided between them in 1998, and Pascal Cotat works many of the same vineyards, producing fine – if not quite as prized – Sancerre.
