K&L Buyer

Every year winemaker Eric Cottat seems to get better and better at his craft. He has been a staff favorite for years and has always had a strong following in each of our stores. The 2019 is a benchmark vintage delivering a generously fruited wine with ruby-red grapefruit, crushed pineapple and pomelo flavors. Lemon verbena and fresh cut grass on the finish give great typicity. All is wonderfully balanced by a streak of acidity. Destined to be one of the greats this year!

Staff Reviews

Scott Beckerley

Another outstanding 2019 vintage Sancerre. They just keep coming in to compliment the equally wonderful 2018's. A floral nose with grapefruit whip (yes, I've actually had that), juicy oranges, and minerals. The palate is dry but, not overly acidic, with stone fruits....peach and apricot. Lovely citrus and spice on the finish.

Notes

We were first introduced to the wines of Eric Cottat a few years back when he was brought to our attention by one of our long-time friends and winemakers in Sancerre. Eric only produces a small amount of wines each vintage for family, friends, and close customers, and then sells the rest of his fruit off to other eager producers in the region. This Sancerre is always invigorating and fresh, with lemony citrus aromas and flavors accented by delicate white flowers. The palate is full and lively, with balanced acidity and minerality on the finish. Although easy to drink, it has complexity and intrigue up and down the palate. You'll want another after the first one has disappeared. Open and enjoy tonight with seafood or fish dishes.
