Description

This complex, persistent Sancerre is named for Daniel Chotard’s father Marcel and uncle Henri, and is made from the domaine’s oldest two plots of vines. At nearly 70 years of age, these old plants give a wine of real concentration, although a balancing freshness does remain. The wine displays an extra layer of ripeness, thanks to the warm and sunny 2020 vintage. Expect rich white stone fruit and a dense layered texture, rounded off by a lingering saline finish.

About this wine

Sancerre

Sancerre is a famous white Sauvignon Blanc appellation located on the left bank of the Loire. Its 14 communes are widely dispersed, covering nearly 3,000 hectares over vertiginous valleys at up to 350 metres above sea level, and three distinct soil types. As with nearby Pouilly-Fumé, an increasing number of single-vineyard wines are being raised in French oak, mostly 500-litre and demi-muids.
