This extraordinary Sancerre comes from Les Monts Damnés, which is one of the most prestigious sites in all of the region for Sauvignon Blanc. Pascal Cotat’s vines in this steep vineyard are at the top of the slope, where the soils are thin clay and limestone with chalky subsoils. These characteristics beautifully influence the wine as this demonstrates a wonderful balance of mineral, fruit and herbal characteristics as it releases its aromas of citrus zest, crushed stones, saline and floral. The precision and energy is simply striking as this continues to impress until the very end. Simply put, this is one of the finest examples of Sauvignon Blanc you will come across.
