Pascal Cotat and his father Francis have turned out an absolutely stunning version of Grand Côte in 2010. The deep, pure and magically complex nose offers up a superb blend of lemon, green apple, lime, very complex, chalky minerality, citrus blossoms and a lovely topnote of fresh-cut grass. On the palate the wine is deep,full-bodied and very snappy, with outstanding mid-palate depth, laser-like focus and stunning length and grip on the very, very complex and perfectly balanced finish. There have been some superb vintages of Pascal Cotat Grand Côte over the years, but the 2010 has to be right up at the head of the class! Stunning wine. 2014- 2030+.

Honeydew, mirabelle and herbal elixirs set the tone for Pascal Cotat's 2010 Sancerre La Grande Cote, with hints of caraway, cardamom and toasted nuts offering counterpoint on a for this vintage surprisingly expansive, satin-textured palate. The seductively lingering finish benefits from a fine, juicy, refreshing steam of citrus and from subtle but saliva-inducing salinity while preserving the rich underlying sense of nut oils. This should prove to be a classic Cotat keeper, i.e. at least a 20 year wine. -David Schildknecht
