Sancerre Les Monts Damnés Pascal Cotat 2011
The wine
Les Monts Damnés is a steep, south-facing parcel that Pascal Cotat harvests when the Sauvignon is fully ripe. The wine is smoky with notes of white truffle and a nice freshness. When young, it discretely expresses aromas of almond and lemon, opening up after a few years of aging.
About the Producer Pascal Cotat
Pascal Cotat is one of the Sancerre appellation’s top winemakers. He created his doman in Chavignol, a city known for its goat’s cheese. He inherited the family domain which is shared with his cousin (François), 2.3 hectares. This small terroir is of top quality, with limestone giving vibrancy and minerality to its Sauvignon grapes. He also owns vines in the Les Monts Damnés and Grande Côte parcels.
