Based in the commune of Chavignol, François Cotat is distinguished for its highly regarded, classic style Sancerre wines. This particular release hails from the Monts Damnés vineyard, where the Cotat family has been cultivating Sauvignon Blanc, alongside small portions of Pinot Noir, since the 1940s. Grapes are handpicked with a slightly later harvest, allowing the flavour compounds to fully mature. In the winery, they undergo barrel fermentation with wild yeasts and are subsequently bottled without fining or filtration.

If you've ever attended a classical concert, there's a brief pause between movements of a symphony; in it, there's a poised hush and a sense of crackling anticipation. The 2022 Monts Damnés reminds me of this hush. It is so very quiet, with a citrusy twinkle in its eye. Despite its initial delicacy and light body, its structure crescendos towards the wine's finale, offering a sense of body, muscle and sinew that requires more time in bottle. I'd happily wait a while. Rebecca Gibb1st July 2023
