@Scott@Mister A’s-San Diego, a new (producer) name for me?? I know I’m not as “up” on Cote Rotie as 15-20 years ago.

Couleur commençant à évoluer
Nez assez réservé puis fraise écrasée épicé j’en ai pas eu l’orange sanguine ou de la rose comme certains grand pinot noir mais superbe nez
Bouche ample mais fraîche et précise, manquant peut être d un peu de longueur pour m emporter complètement mais très beaux tanins

Domaine Gerard Fiou

Terroir Silex Sancerre Pinot Noir 2020

On pop-n-pour, the nose is intensely minerally, showing medium-toned freshly-cracked stone, along with almost pungent purply-mountain berry fruitiness. A musky, feral note in there too. Chiseled and structured in the mouth. It’s full-bodied, with a fair amount of chalky tannin present. Very much on the minerally side, flavorwise. I like it but this is unlike any other Sancerre Rouge I’ve ever had. I’m pretty certain I would not be able to identify this as a Sancerre Rouge (or a Pinot Noir of any sort) if it had been served blind. — 5 months ago

Surprisingly good - at a blind tasting this was the one Pinot i got wrong - i guested France 🇫🇷 but thought this is a Burgh.

So i got as far as France … but not further… but did win that evening. But hey only Pinots were served!

Domaine François Cotat

La Grande Côte Sancerre Sauvignon Blanc 2009

Nez riche avec une forte impression sucrée que l’on retrouve en bouche aussi, gras, rond avec un peu d’acidité, finale avec de l’alcool et comme un sucre résiduel, 89. Clairement identifié comme Cotat.

Blind tasting lunch 2009 theme. Nose with strong sugar and sweetness impression that we find on the round and fairly fat palate, a little bit of acidity to balnce it but a finish with some alcool and residual sugar, clearly identified as F. Cotat. 88-89
