Domaine François Cotat
Les Monts Damnés Sancerre Sauvignon Blanc
Medium gold color. Heavy weight. Exotic nose. Notes of citrus, beeswax, spice and some honey. High pitched. Nice fruit and texture in the mouth. Paired well with some spice Thai food my wife made. I would call this at peak and would not wait much longer on these.

Jan 11th, 2022Straw color, light and bright. Sweet fruit nose. Notes of honeydew melon, kiwi, meadow grass and beeswax. Still young in the mouth. In a good drinking window with years of life ahead of it.

Jul 6th, 2021Not as expressive as I was expecting or perhaps may become in a few more years but still wonderful. Wooly, lemon pith, grapefruit, oxidized apple, a bit of toasted nuts

Mar 28th, 2021Straw gold. Nice hue. Tart fruit nose. Notes of grapefruit, sour lemons, stones, some spice and a little honey. Very nice in the mouth. Coats the mouth and it lingers. Lovely wine that fared better than the 98 of this I opened first that was over the hill.

Nov 9th, 2019Great now, but proof that great Sancerre needs age.

Oct 17th, 2019Too young, very strange nose when just opened, gave the impression of residual sugar. Now after being opened for 45 minutes this has totally disappeared. Highly complex, great minerality and salinity, layered, long finish.

Ridiculous!

Showing some age but still bulletproof. Grapefruit, straw, and honey on the nose. Massive attack and a long finish. Big wine for sure. Could use some more time to show the full nuance it's capable of. Lots of baby fat

Nov 30th, 2018Light gold color. Fruit forward nose with notes of straw, apricot skin, fruit pit and minerals. A bit over the top in the mouth; the rich, hot fruit overwhelms the minimal structure and acidity. Nice drink for an outdoor music in the park picnic
