Soms heb je zo’n glas waar alles samenkomt.

Pascal Cotat, Sancerre Le Grande Côte 2015.
En wát een wijn is dit weer zeg, zo blij met mijn geduld 😃

Alles waar je op hoopt bij rijping, gebeurt hier. De spanning is er nog, maar nu verweven met rijp fruit, een bijna wasachtige textuur en die zilt-minerale diepgang die maar blijft doorgaan. Dit is geen frisse, strakke Sauvignon Blanc, dit is gelaagd, complex en serieus indrukwekkend.

Het mooiste?
Dit bevestigt precies waarom geduld loont. Deze wijn hééft tijd nodig. En als je ‘m dat geeft, krijg je iets terug dat echt buitencategorie is.

Ik zeg het niet snel, maar: dit is echt mijn wijn. En dat terwijl ik normaal geen uitgesproken liefhebber ben van deze druif.

Maar dit… dit is gewoon geniaal. 🍷

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of a few hours. The 2023 Chavignol Rosé pours a nearly Nantucket red with a transparent core; medium viscosity with no staining of he tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of strawberry, watermelon Jolly Rancher, Kaffir lime, and limestone minerals. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+ with a chalky texture. One of the great Rosés of the world that nobody ever talks about. Drink now through 2033. — 4 months ago

Nose: a wee bit of turpentine.

Palate: delicious but a bit flawed. Yummy giving cherry fruit. Still grippy. Not bright but balancing acidity. — 7 months ago

Shows white peach, bitter almond, dried flowers, slate, and umami savor, with a long, detailed finish — a month ago

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of an hour. The 2024 “Les Monts Damés” pours a straw color with medium viscosity. On the nose, the wine is developing with white flowers, grapefruit, star fruit, alfalfa, and cream cheese stuffed poblano pepper. There’s also this Double Bubble thing going on. Wild stuff. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+. In a world of increasing ambiguity, I love that this is immediately identifiable as Sancerre. Drink now through 2034+. — 3 months ago

If all CNdPs were this good, I would drink a lot more of them. Still darker color and more fruit than I expected, but knit together perfectly. — 2 months ago
