Sancerre La Grande Côte Blanc "Laura" 2019 | Wine from Domaine Pascal Cotat

The Domaine Pascal Cotat is a key player in the Sancerre appellation, renowned for its artisanal cuvées that precisely express the exceptional terroirs of the region. Located in Chavignol, the estate produces wines that are both powerful, elegant, and of rare depth, thanks to expertise passed down from generation to generation.

The Sancerre La Grande Côte Blanc "Laura" 2019 is a unique cuvée, originating from the emblematic vineyard of La Grande Côte, where the limestone and marl soils reveal all their richness. The grapes, harvested late to achieve a slight overripeness, give rise to a wine that is both opulent and beautifully fresh. Its careful winemaking, with a few grams of residual sugar remaining, imparts remarkable harmony and a lingering pleasure on the palate.

The nose is powerful and complex, revealing aromas of exotic fruits, fresh mushrooms, beeswax, quince, and a subtle touch of white flowers. On the palate, the cuvée impresses with its controlled tension, beautiful fullness, and persistent length, with a slight sweetness that perfectly balances the ensemble.

This exceptional white wine will pair perfectly with a dish of grilled lobster, sea bass in salt crust, or even a porcini mushroom risotto. For cheese lovers, it will enhance a slightly aged crottin de Chavignol. Finally, it can also be enjoyed on its own, to appreciate all its richness and complexity.
