Domaine François Cotat Les Monts Damnés Sancerre 2007

You don’t see that often white wine bottles with few years of cellaring done being opened as it is usually something kept for red wine. And when that type of wine is tasted blind, the appreciation is raised since it become harder to find what the bearer brought and pourred us…

Light gold color. Some sulfur at first on the nose, then smoke, peach and citrus fruit with a little green side I don’t usually match with the varietal aromas of sauvignon blanc. Expressive yet serious on the palate with high mineral / sea shells side, then the citrus fruit, yellow apples and litchi flavors. Balanced and bright at first and round, charming and salty on a long finish. Complex and tasty. The bottle owner patience allowed us to be rewqarded with its content! Excellent (91)
