Pascal Cotat
Pascal Cotat embodies the discreet excellence of Sancerre. Based in Chavignol, he perpetuates family know-how on exceptional terroirs, including the legendary Monts Damnés. His vineyard, made up of old Sauvignon Blanc vines, rests on steep hillsides with limestone and Kimmeridgian marl soils, giving his wines incomparable depth and minerality . Faithful to artisanal winemaking that respects the fruit, Pascal Cotat harvests by hand at full maturity, which gives his wines a unique richness and texture. Fermentation takes place naturally in old barrels , with long aging on lees, without filtration, allowing the cuvées to gain in complexity and finesse. His Sancerre, often endowed with a great capacity for aging , combines opulence and tension, developing over time honeyed and iodized notes that enhance their mineral structure. Emotional wines, designed to age elegantly over the years.
