Since inheriting his father’s parcels of old vines in 1990, François Cotat has become one of the Loire Valley’s most sought-after names. ‘Iconic and idiosyncratic, the wines of François Cotat are codeword for cellar-worthy Sancerre’ and so we are delighted to offer a double delight of both the 2020 and 2021 vintages. François' gift for producing long-lived Sauvignon Blanc is unmatched. Located outside the village of Chavignol, Cotat’s five hectares of vines sit on Sancerre’s most famed hillsides, where the steep south-facing slopes are rich in Kimmeridgian marl, the same clay and limestone soils that give Chablis its distinctive character.
