Vintage 2009 | There is no point in being sorry, I know, but I wish I bought more Cotat. Incredible Sancerre with 16 years. No sign of age or fatigue, very vivid. Citrus, minerals, white chocolate, very rich smell, fresh. Some flint, a brieve hint of honey. This wine is all about e l e g a n c e. — a year ago

Popped and poured at a social gathering. No formal notes but this was a steely wine; all about the minerals and acid. The finish was a touch savory which I found quite nice. Not the most expressive but certainly refreshing. — 5 years ago

Ripe strawberry, black currant, and dark chocolate bitterness. Pleasant acidity. Needs more age, but overall really nice! — 6 years ago

Friday night, finally! It's been a long week, so I'll relax with one of our favorite Champagne's. We visited Caillez-Lemaire in May of 2018, greatly enjoying their hospitality and tasting through the lineup. The Eclats Brut is our favorite, great value for delivered enjoyment at ~$35.

Nose is toasty brioche and a minerally quince jam. Ultra clean, creamy palate reflecting the same notes.

Pictures of our bottle of the evening and stacks of champagne resting in the C-L cellar with their temporary closures, all waiting for someone's future enjoyment.

Better than the 16, not as sweet.
