Sancerre Blanc Le Côteline 2020

Tasting Note

Clear, pale yellow with golden reflections. The nose is floral, exotic, and complex. On the palate, it is full-bodied yet fresh, unfolding with great length to reveal the complexity of the terroir, supported by a touch of well-integrated oak.

Vinification 

This wine comes from vines grown on one of the oldest hillsides in Sancerre; a very steep southeast facing slope known as “cotelin”.

The terroir, derived from different geological eras, is composed of poor soil, mainly clay-limestone with a stony topsoil.

The vinification, partially in 500 l barrels, results in a wine which is subtly crafted by the harmonious trilogy of the magnificent Sauvignon grape, exceptional terroir and a hint of oak.

The elegance, fullness and powerful aromas of Le Côtelin make it an ideal wine to serve with appetisers, white meat, fish accompanied by a sauce and cheese.
