Pascal Cotat Sancerre La Grande Côte 2022

The Pascal Cotat estate, located in Chavignol in the Sancerre region of the Loire Valley, is led by Pascal Cotat, a renowned winemaker carrying on a family legacy alongside his cousin François. Spanning 2.3 hectares of steep limestone slopes, this domain excels in the Sancerre appellation, cultivating Sauvignon Blanc with an unofficial biodynamic and minimalist approach. The La Grande Côte 2022 cuvée, a still white wine, is crafted entirely from Sauvignon Blanc from old vines on clay-limestone soil, vinified in aged barrels without filtration for a pure expression.

On tasting, this wine reveals a pale gold hue and a complex nose of white fruits, such as pear, blended with mineral and citrus notes. On the palate, it delivers a full texture, crisp acidity, and a saline finish, marked by hints of gunflint and lemon. Perfect with oysters or grilled fish, the Pascal Cotat Sancerre La Grande Côte 2022 captivates with its richness and legendary precision.
