Daniel Chotard, Sauvignon Blanc, Sancerre, Loire Valley, France 2021
The Daniel Chotard Sancerre is luscious and complex with deep notes and a long, harmonious finale.
Daniel Chotard and his wife Brigitte live just outside Sancerre in the village of Reigny. The Chotard family has been making wine for well over two hundred years, though Daniel was initially reluctant to accept the family vocation and started as a teacher. In recent years, Daniel has passed the reins of the domaine on to his son Simon.
Simon practices sustainable farming, and uses organic composts to treat the vines. Typically, he harvests his grapes later than his neighbors, resulting in full-bodied wines with a rich complexity. He has also transitioned away from using cultured yeasts, fermenting every wine naturally — a rare feat in an appellation where technical winemaking is still the norm. Simon’s quest for a more authentic expression of terroir has led him to isolate certain parcels on the basis of soil, experimenting with different aging vessels in the cellar (demi-muids, acacia, foudres...) to find the best match.
