Domaine François Cotat - Sancerre Rosé 2023
François Cotat is a winemaker located in the commune of Chavignol , within the Sancerre appellation in the Loire Valley. The Cotat family has been renowned in the region since the 1940s, and his cousin Pascal Cotat also produces wine in Sancerre. François Cotat manages 3 hectares of vines: 1/3 Pinot Noir, 2/3 Sauvignon Blanc. The vineyard is cultivated on clay-limestone hillsides, with a unique type of chalky soil called "terres blanches". It is not uncommon to see François Cotat's wines under the Vin de France status, since he tends not to follow the regulations of the Sancerre appellation (higher level of residual sugar or alcohol).
This Sancerre Rosé is made entirely from Pinot Noir , from a 0.55 hectare plot. The wine does not undergo malolactic fermentation and is aged in vats.
Grape variety: 100% Pinot Noir
"This rosé seduces with its freshness and purity, offering vibrant notes of red cherry, redcurrant, and a subtle hint of citrus. Ideal for accompanying seasonal dishes or simply enjoying in the sunshine!"
