"La Grande Côte," a steep, south-facing parcel with old vines on Kimmeridgian limestone, a monopole of the Cotat family. Fermented with indigenous yeasts in old barrels (demi-muids), unfined, and unfiltered, aiming for purity and minimal interventioCotat Sancerre is simply some of the most singular Sauvignon Blanc in the world. Like his cousin François, Pascal Cotat (with his winery in Sancerre) crafts uncanny wines that defy both time and definition. These are wines that can age for decades effortlessly, and that marry a plush richness with a laser-like cut and energy. Cotat as a rule harvests by hand and very late, as pushing ripeness to the extreme is one element that gives his wines their weighty texture and complexity. To wit, “They are some of the finest Sauvignon Blancs I have ever put to my lips,” says Robert Parker.

Critic tasting note: (2015 vintage) "Still young, this is a fine Champagne. Its crisp texture and fresh citrus and white fruits are still full of vivacity. The wine is textured, hinting at minerality and should be aged further. Drink from 2024. Roger Voss"
Taste: ‘Grande Cuvée’ presents a gorgeous golden hue in the glass, marked by aromas of white flowers, dried fruit, marzipan, and nougat. Citrus-driven acidity and brioche notes lead to a lasting, vivacious finish. It’s mature and toasty.
Taste: "A combination of an extraordinary vintage and a fantastic producer are behind this stunning wine. It opens with aromas recalling woodland berry, pipe tobacco, forest floor, balsamic notes of camphor and new leather."
