Description / Reviews
"The grapes are hand-picked and sorted before pressing. A gentle cold settling of the must is carried out before fermentation with indigenous yeasts, to allow impurities (dust, earth) to settle out but retain as much substance as possible. The wine is aged for 8 to 15 months in stainless steel vats (1/3), foudres (1/3) and barrels (1/3) before bottling. We like to bottle the wines with a slight reduction, to protect them better and allow them to age and evolve in your glasses throughout the tasting." - Daniel Chotard, Winemaker
"The Chotard family have been making wine for over 200 years, since 1789 and now the reigns are passed to Daniel’s son Simon, the latest in the dynasty. Domaine is in Crezancy-en-Sancerre – West of the appellation. Simon stopped using herbacides and pesticides. 2017 was 100% organic practices. Plan to go full Bio in 2019 vintage. Main exposition of vineyards are South, South East, South West. Vineyards age from 5 years to 70 years old." - Franc About Wine, Importer
