Sancerre "Les Caillottes" 2018 Francois Cotat - Description
The Sancerre "Les Cailottes" 2018 is a natural wine from the Loire, Sancerre area, 100% Sauvignon Blanc.
It is obtained from young vines planted on calcareous soils with a very fine soil made of stones, flint and pebbles. The harvest of this Loire Valley wine is often late, not to add residual sugar to the wines, but only to give them a certain softness, a tender side which translates into a greater softness in the mouth.
On the nose, this Sancerre "Les Cailottes" reveals sensual fragrances of white flowers that envelop the bitter taste of grapefruit, while the greedy buttery notes respond to the freshness of lime blossom and honeysuckle for a deliciously balanced bouquet. The full and nervous palate reveals a great finesse, a savoury and complex harmony. The finish shows a generous length with flint notes, particularly gritty and salty!
A Loire wine to be enjoyed in depth this masterpiece by Francois Cotat.
