François Cotat is one of Sancerre’s most revered winemakers, and he poured every ounce of his skill into this beautifully balanced Sauvignon Blanc. Sourced from a cooler, northwest facing plot planted by his great-grandfather, Les Culs de Beaujeu 2022 sings of lemon curd and white flowers with nuances of crushed rock. Pure and precise, this is an exceptional white wine capable of ageing for a decade or more.

93/100 â€?Typically the last parcel to be picked by Cotat, the 2022 Cul de Beaujeu is a welcoming, open style. The merest hint of residual sugar (3g/l) is part of the roundness on the palate, but it’s not sweet, merely smoothing out its core. There’s a delicate fragrance of nectarine and florals with a touch of honey on the medium-length finish. â€?Rebecca Gibb MW, Vinous
