A Sancerre of great style, both radiant and meditative, which translates better than ever the luminous purity and controlled power of a Grande Côte interpreted by François Cotat.
From the very first whiff, the terroir's character is evident, fresh and direct. Citrus notes dominate: lime, mandarin zest, grapefruit peel. Then come herbaceous and chlorophyll-rich nuances reminiscent of crushed mint leaves, nettle, eucalyptus, and other delicate herbs. A scent of pure air pervades the air. Mineral notes emerge in the background, with damp chalk, coarse salt, and oyster shell, complemented by hints of rubbed flint and a subtle powdery touch. The finish, long, penetrating, and admirably precise, retains the iodine and chalky imprint that characterizes the great wines of Chavignol. It leaves on the palate an impression of pure energy, density, and dynamism, as if the wine continued to breathe after the last sip.
