Located in the Chavignol commune, François Cotat is celebrated for producing classic Sancerre wines. Their top vineyards include Monts Damnés, Les Culs de Beaujeu, Les Caillottes, and La Grande Côte, where this release comes from. Sauvignon Blanc grapes are handpicked with a slightly later harvest, enabling the flavour compounds to fully mature. In the winery, these grapes undergo barrel fermentation with wild yeasts and the wines are bottled without fining or filtration.

Lay back and get comfortable with the 2022 Grand Côte. It is a delightfully balanced style with a tender finesse, filling the mouth with a sense of purity. While it has an almost lacy character, there's no absence of substance or structure. It's restrained aromatically with delicate violets, florals, nectarine flavors and a distinct stony character. It draws out on the long, chalky, almost sinew-like finish. A delight to drink now, but knowing Cotat, there's no hurry to pull the cork. Rebecca Gibb1st July 2023
