Cotat is one of the most prestigious names in
Sancerre, producing very ageworthy wines in an appellation more generally known
for making wines to be drunk fresh in the flushes of youth.
Lemon (and to some extent lime) on the nose, touched
by caraway; the powerful palate offers a fair whack of acid and alcohol, and
quite an impressive length. It is not as saline or idiosyncratic as the other
Cotat cuvées, but rather (on opening) is a forceful expression of the classic
Sancerre profile. Development brings out a more luscious melon and mint
character. Some aging would be welcome.
