Francois Cotat Sancerre Rose 2023

From a tiny plot of old-vine Pinot Noir on Chavignol’s chalky slopes, this rare rosé is anything but ordinary. The 2023 shows wild strawberry, stone fruit, and white pepper, layered over a fine mineral backbone. Textured, saline, and quietly complex, it’s a rosé made for the cellar—not the ice bucket. Like Cotat’s whites, it deepens beautifully with time, revealing its terroir-driven soul. A cult favorite and released in tiny quantities, this is one to seek out and age.
