Sancerre Monts Damnes 2024

The Sancerre Monts Damnés is produced in the Loire Valley, France, specifically from the Monts Damnés vineyard, one of the most prestigious and steepest slopes in the Sancerre appellation. This terroir is renowned for its unique limestone and flint soils which impart distinctive minerality to the wine.

This wine is made exclusively from the Sauvignon Blanc grape variety, known for its aromatic intensity and crisp acidity.

Pascal Cotat employs meticulous viticultural practices with hand-harvesting to ensure optimal grape quality. The grapes are carefully selected and undergo gentle pressing. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks to preserve freshness and aromatic purity. The wine is aged on fine lees for several months to enhance texture and complexity without losing its vibrant character.

• Appearance: Pale gold with greenish reflections.
• Aroma: Intense and expressive with notes of citrus fruits, white flowers, flint, and subtle hints of herbs.
• Palate: Crisp and lively acidity balanced by a mineral backbone, delivering flavors of grapefruit, lemon zest, and wet stone. The finish is long, elegant, and refreshing.

Sancerre Monts Damnés pairs excellently with a variety of dishes including:

• Fresh seafood such as oysters, scallops, and grilled fish
• Goat cheese, particularly the local Crottin de Chavignol
• Light poultry dishes with herbs
• Salads with citrus-based dressings
• Asian cuisine with subtle spice and fresh herbs
