Domaine François Cotat
La Grande Côte Sancerre Sauvignon Blanc 2018
Holy cow, what a home run! This my friends its the taste of terroir. Dense and muscular, with a focused minerality that is keeping the beat.
Despite its youth it is very expressive and not holding back on its complexity. François Cotat La Grande Côte, a marvelous piece and an act in the magic of wine.
Pronounced intense aromas with a layered depth Lemon juice, kiwi, boxwood, dandelions almost reaching towards honey with a prominent Limestone mineraliy that is keeping the beat.
High piercing acidiy that cuts through the smooth and ripe edges. Dense and athletic on the mid palate with a layered complexity, salty backbone as it expands before closing up in a long tightening finish. — 3 years ago
Luigi Baudana (G.D. Vajra)
Dragon Langhe Bianco Chardonnay Blend 2019
Wow I like this more than I expected. Very fun and interesting. It absolutely makes me think of a NZ Sauv Blanc on the nose with kiwi and lime zest but it also has some some Chardonnay characteristics as well. There are some orange blossom notes as well. This wine would scramble your brain in a blind tasting. Nice balance of freshness and body. Cool label doesn’t hurt either :) — 4 years ago

Nose of ripe red fruits plus black plum. Obvious whole bunch influence. Fruit influence has diminished a little since previous tasting but there was some fruit sweetness when tasting at the end of the.palate and the bottle. Kiwi expert Bob Campbell MW was very impressed and said “the best Ata Rangi I’ve tasted “ when he tasted it in June 2016. — 6 months ago
