Francois Cotat Sancerre Grand Cote 2023

The crown jewel of Cotat’s four-hectare domaine, ‘La Grande Côte’ is the boldest and most expressive wine in the cellar. Sourced from 40-year-old vines on steep, chalky slopes near Chavignol, this cuvée balances power with precision. The 2023 vintage shows layers of pear, apple skin, and citrus oil, all carried by Cotat’s signature flinty minerality and vibrant acidity. It’s structured, age-worthy, and deeply compelling offering richness without sacrificing finesse. This is Cotat’s most flamboyant Sancerre, yet also among the most refined, with the potential to age for decades.
