Very approachable in its (relative) youth. A little matchstick at first then pure puckery yellow green fruit filtered through limestone and spattered onto a field of white flowers. Could go another decade easily but no need to wait

When you want an approachable F Cotat in youth, go for Caillottes. Chalky soils make for softer style, thus it doesn't "need food."

Reduction love, a must. Chablis meets Sancerre. Crushed rocks, etherial lemongrass nose and palate.

Lovely ripe citrus, fleshy and generous body, some charming herbal notes - maybe lemongrass or cut flower stem, a touch of melon rind, all on a sturdy mineral frame that provides a firm, dynamic scaffolding that allows for exceptional balance. Like many Chavignols, a richer expression of Sancerre blanc, with plenty to talk about besides screaming acidity.
