Tasting notes for the Sancerre Caillottes 2015 - François Cotat

  • EYE: This Sancerre displays a pale and brilliant yellow color. Its hue is clear and reflects its freshness.
  • NOSE: The wine exudes an expressive and aromatic nose. It reveals citrus aromas such as lemon and grapefruit, accompanied by subtle hints of white fruits and flowers. Mineral notes reminiscent of flint also emerge.
  • MOUTH: A lively and crisp texture. The fruity flavors really come alive, with a dominance of crisp citrus and juicy white fruits. Pronounced minerality brings freshness and elegance, while herbal notes and a hint of pepper add complexity. The balance between lively acidity and silky texture is remarkable, leading to a persistent and refreshing saline finish.

In short: The Sancerre Caillottes 2015 from François Cotat is a structured, lively, and refreshing white wine that perfectly reflects the expression of its terroir. Its citrus aromas, pronounced minerality, and lively texture make it an ideal choice to accompany seafood, light salads, and fresh goat cheeses. This wine can be enjoyed now, but it can also be cellared for a few years to develop further complexity. With its freshness and harmonious balance, it offers a pleasant and typical Sancerre tasting experience.

The "Pope" of Sancerre

 

François Cotat is a child of the vineyard. His father Paul started training him to be a winemaker in 1979, letting him work in the family estate of Chavignol (a small village near Sancerre, in the Loire Valley). François inherited the estate in 1998, but he'd been making wine since 1997. Once in charge, instead of changing anything, he decided to stay true to traditional methods.

In the 4,15 hectares of vineyard he now owns, François Cotat continues to harvest by hand and to limit his use of chemicals. He doesn't filter his wine either, but lets the terroir express itself freely instead. The fermentation process is short, which means his wines will age better when kept in a cellar (his white wines can be stored for 30 years, for example).

Three parcels stick out: the Monts Damnés, the Grande Côte and the Cul de Beaujeu. These terroirs are a part of Sancerre's "great growths". There's also the Caillottes, a cuvée from a more recent and quite rocky parcel, as well as a minuscule patch of Pinot Noir. From this last one, François produces very small quantities of some extremely rare red and rosé wines, like the famous Chavignol (only 2500 bottles per year).
