Simon & Daniel Chotard, 2021
Sancerre Blanc, Cuvee Racines 2021
Sancerre Blanc, Cuvee Racines 2021
From old vines on the sun-drenched slopes near Reigny, with roots deep in the mineral Kimmeridgian marl. This is where an energetic Sancerre is born: ripe citrus, a saline minerality and a hint of spice, rounded off with subtle oak aging for finesse and length.

Chotard manages his small 9 hectares from Reigny near Crézancy and Sancerre. 80% is Sauvignon, 20% Pinot Noir. Vines up to 60 years old. Almost organic cultivation (organic fertilization, no insecticides).
Respect for the clay/limestone terroir is essential; the white Sancerre ages for 8 months "sur ses lies" annually, consistently producing a wine with great substance. The red wines are delicate and supple; Pinot Noir of the fine and fruity kind.
Annual mentions in the Guide Hachette and Revue des Vins de France.
