The Cotat name has long been known within Sancerre – the family would make one bottling for each brother, Francis and Paul. In 1990, the sons of each brother, Francois (of Paul) and Pascal (of Francis) took over the cellars and began to delineate the vineyards to create more individualistic wines. That said, the wines are made in the same style by each cousin.
Chavignol is famous for its unique soils to the rest of Sancerre, possessing more clay and limestone in the chalk which naturally provides more density. Add in the Cotats’ smart farming – all natural, no chemicals – and their love of the perfect ripeness, you can expect the Cotat wines to be bold for Sancerre. In their youth, they might even have a gram or two of residual sugar, but this aids in the aging process, pairing with the natural acidity of Sauvignon Blanc to bring together an almost Burgundian texture over time in the cellar.
Caillottes tends to be the most delicate of the bottlings from Francois, younger vines within soils that contain a bit more chalk than clay. Culs de Beaujeu contains pre-war vines in a cooler climat, and will often have a cool yet sweet green tone to its stony flavors. Les Monts Damnes will be the most chiseled and profound of the bottlings, coming from a steeper slope with virtually no topsoil. La Grande Cote is perhaps the bottling with the most depth, its soils very similar to Chablis, providing great energy and salinity. The Rosé is one of the most sought-after rosés from Europe – yes, classified as a VdF but very much coming from 90-year old Pinot Noir vines within Sancerre.
