François Cotat Sancerre La Grande Côte 2011
White
Sancerre, France

WineSaint
Weighty and concentrated, with waxy texture and baked stone fruit that dominates the palate. The extended lees contact builds impressive density but mutes Sancerre's typical mineral drive. A formidable expression that needs food and cellar time to find its balance.

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.
