Note di degustazione
Narcissus, fresh lemon, nettle, and intimations of chalk in the nose of Pascal Cotat’s 2008 Sancerre Les Monts Damnes lead to bright, mouth-watering, practically spine-tingling and yet extract rich and substantial palate. Finishing with brash citricity, bitter hints of huckleberry and lemon pip, and minerality of a sort you lick your lips in vain to remove, this handsomely lean, muscular Monts Damnes (truly dry, at 2 grams residual sugar) should prove fascinating and versatile over the coming 4-6 years.

Pale yellow. Deep, mineral-inflected aromas of pear, quince, anise and white flowers. Round and expansive in the mouth, offering deep orchard fruit flavors and complicating notes of succulent herbs and flowers. Manages to be both rich and energetic, finishing with excellent thrust and lingering minerality. This wine has a great track record for rewarding cellaring.
Informazioni sul produttore
The other Cotat, Pascal Cotat, is cousin to the legendary François Cotat. The original family domaine was divided between them in 1998, and Pascal Cotat works many of the same vineyards, producing fine – if not quite as prized – Sancerre.
