Domaine Pascal Cotat

Domaine Pascal Cotat is a small family producer in Chavignol, a village within the Sancerre appellation in the Loire Valley. The domaine focuses exclusively on white wine production, working with the Sauvignon Blanc grape that defines the region.

Chavignol sits on distinctive terroir marked by three soil types: terre blanche (limestone and clay), caillottes (small limestone pebbles), and calcaire (hard limestone). These soil compositions shape the character of Sancerre wines, typically producing mineral, crisp expressions with citrus and herbaceous notes. The Loire Valley's cool climate and continental influences further emphasize freshness and acidity in the finished wines.

The domaine's current range includes La Grande Cote, a Sauvignon Blanc from Chavignol that reflects the specific character of the vineyard site. This wine represents the producer's commitment to expressing the limestone-based terroir of the region through Sauvignon Blanc.
