François Cotat Sancerre Les Culs de Beaujeu 2008

Mineral tension drives this tightly wound Sancerre from Cotat's oldest Chavignol parcels. White flowers and citrus zest emerge first, followed by deeper notes of wet stone and subtle herb complexity. The palate shows impressive concentration beneath its refined exterior, with chalky limestone providing both structure and energy. Needs cellaring through 2025 to reach full potential.

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.
