Domaine des Cottereaux 2006 WHITE France

A perfect balance of crisp refreshing citrus flavours and rich 'mineral' complexity have earned Domaine des Cottereaux Sancerre many medals and wide critical acclaim over the years. Why does Jean-Marie's Sancerre win so many awards and taste that bit more refined than so many local rivals? He points out that his tiny domaine inherited from his father 20 years ago includes many small parcels of Sauvignon vines dotted amongst premium sites with a great diversity of terroirs. This he says adds complexity and depth to his wine and especially in 2006 a very good vintage for the Loire. A good relationship with Jean-Marie lasting seven vintages now secured us a parcel - albeit strictly limited. A wonderful opportunity to enjoy one of the world's best-loved classic whites from an excellent vintage. Pale gold colour with a fine racy nose of citrus and white flowers. Crisp rich and beautifully balanced with lime and gooseberry flavours and a subtle minerally edge. Enjoy as an aperitif or with grilled fish.
