Only structure left, in the case of SB from Chavignol that means just massive amounts of acid. Would love to try younger one — 9 years ago

Oldster talking here.... when I started tasting wines from Chavignol back in the 80s young wines did not taste like this, but this is gooooood! We used to have to wait for this opulence! Now here it is in a 2015. Good and not good . But really this is showing well and I think will be great for another 10 years. Question: can it hold like 89 and 90 Chavignol could? — 9 years ago

Classic Sancerre PN, meaning the fruit takes a back seat to the intense minerality sucked out of the limestone soil. Mostly uber-clean chalky minerality on the nose with a veil of pure cherry/strawberry fruit. Very refreshing and food-flexible. — 10 years ago

The Sancerre Rosé delivered everything my lofty expectations dared hope for, and more! Laser focused, tinged with toe-curling earthiness, then it softly expanded its forest floor tentacles of savory flavors like a poem. I'd drink this all winter! — 10 years ago

Light, see-through, ruby red color; mild aromas with hints of earth; light, juicy, cherry juice flavors, so bright, almost candy-like. Nice medium griping tannins. Long juicy aftertaste. Beautiful chilled, on a sunny, summer day! — 10 years ago

First Rosé of the season in Seattle, clocking in with sunshine and 58 degrees 😃. Pretty dark on the eye: rose gold, almost burnt orange. Nose sees minerality, some bright red strawberries and raspberries, red and white flowers abound. Palette sees a healthy does of acid (medium), lots of minerality, more bright red fruits, with long finish that moves slowly across your palette. — 9 years ago

Seriously textured Sancerre from one of the steep vineyards around Chavignol. Pure and crystalline fruit expression, a little smoky, and a seducing weight. But translucent too. Brilliant wine! Keeps impressing me time after time. — 10 years ago

The peppermint aromas I often find in older Thomas-Labaille Busters, with a little honey and flowers. The age has brought a nice nuttiness on the palate with good fruit. It is in a terrific place right now. — 11 years ago

A leading domaine for Sauvignon Blanc in Loire (Sancerre AOC) is Pascal Cotat a natural winemaker who owns 2,5 hectares of vineyards splitted in two lieu-dits: Les Monts Damnés and La Grande Côte in Chavignol, east of Sancerre. The chalky soils parcel of Les Monts Damnés owned by Pascal is in the higher grounds (very steep slopes), the vines are around 35 years-old organically cared (seaweed and other natural preparations to fertilize the soil).
Pascal (as does his cousin François) prefers late harvests, more than a week after every other winery in the region.
Wines are unfined and unfiltered in the bottle. First superb impression drinking this delicious 2014 was: fermented sea water which goes down as a freshly squeezed ripe pink grapefruit filling up your mouth, cleaning up your mind of all uncertainties, riddles or prejudices.
