Tasting notes

The nose and broad, subtly creamy palate of Pascal Cotat’s Sancerre La Grande Côte present aromas of caraway, toasted pine nuts, candied grapefruit rind, papaya, litchi, and bacon fat, evoking the impression of Gewürztraminer blended into this Sauvignon Blanc. This sensation is further reinforced by hints of caramelized parsnip and celery root that emerge with aeration. While greater vivacity and sheer refreshment from the 2011 vintage might be desirable, the wine's soothing, mouth-coating texture carries its vibrant personality into a finish where discreet sweetness harmonizes with the richness of its flamboyant fruit.

About this wine

Domaine Pascal Cotat is a benchmark producer in Sancerre, crafting exemplary Sauvignon Blanc wines from the Loire Valley's most prestigious terroir. La Grande Côte represents the estate's commitment to expressing the unique minerality and complexity of Chavignol's limestone-rich soils, producing a white wine of elegance and precision.

This Sauvignon Blanc showcases the hallmarks of fine Sancerre: bright citrus and tropical fruit character balanced by a creamy texture and subtle toast notes. At 12.5% ABV, it achieves a harmonious medium alcohol level that enhances rather than overwhelms. The wine's versatility makes it an ideal companion to shellfish, crab, and lobster, while its acidity and aromatic profile complement chicken, sushi, goat cheese, and fresh herb-forward dishes with equal finesse.

A sophisticated choice for discerning palates seeking authentic Loire Valley white wine, La Grande Côte delivers the characteristic freshness and food-friendly nature that have made Sancerre a cornerstone of fine wine collections worldwide.
