Waves of honeyed orchard fruit and mineral-driven precision from Chavignol's oldest vines. Yellow apple and pear gain complexity from licorice undertones and bright citrus acidity. The massive stone fruit core builds with floral intensity, supported by crystalline minerality that defines the structure. Serious, age-worthy Sancerre that needs cellaring through 2012.

François Cotat
→François Cotat produces some of Sancerre's most singular whites from the limestone slopes of Chavignol, with wines built for aging rather than early drinking. A reference point for the appellation's serious side.
