Nicolas Millet has essentially taken over the day-to-day winemaking at the winery and continues to propel Domaine des Cotes Blanches forward in its viticultural and winemaking practices. The 2022 is classic for the vintage, showing aromas lime zest, lemon verbena with flavors of passion fruit and crushed stone. Loads of acidity frame the richer framework of the warmer vintage profile driving the minerality front and center. This is superb drinking now and should continue to drink for many more years. A new best in class from one of our favorite producers in Sancerre!

Notes

Domaine Côtes Blanches was established in the 1930s by Bernard and Pierre Millet. In 1980, it was time for the second generation to take the reins, so François and Monique expanded the estate to 21 hectares of vines (15ha of Sauvignon, 6ha of Pinot Noir). After returning from his studies in Beaune, Nicolas (son of François and Monique) joined the family-run estate and brought a newly energized passion. The family is dedicated to the land and the environment by which they are surrounded. All farming is done organically, harvest dates are dictated by nature rather than the calendar, and only gravity systems are used in the winemaking-no pumps-and all wines are allowed to rest 6-8 weeks in bottle before release. The Côtes Blanches refers to the stony white soils found on the slopes of Sancerre in the heart of France.
