2010 Loire

Suspended high above the village of Chavignol, Les Culs de Beaujeu vineyard is fortunately composed of plenty of clay (stopping it sliding down the near vertical slope), that assists no doubt in giving the wine a creamy, velvety quality than none of Francois other wines/vineyards share. A great wine for the cellar, drinking from say 2015 at the earliest.

Picked from Francois Cotat's youngest vines, from 5 years upwards, still within the confines of the village of Chavignol if on slightly flatter ground. The net result is a Francois Cotat wine that can be lapped up if its youth. As you would expect, the wine shows impeccable manners, along with a crystalline purity, freshness and scintillating detail. Perfect as an aperitif or with starters.
