Domaine des Cotes Blanches Sancerre has long been a K&D Favorite, and it's easy to see why! This crisp, refreshing white wine is an absolute delight. Vigneron Nicolas Millet represents the 9th generation of his family at this historic estate, which was founded in the 1700s. Today, his focus on biodynamic farming and minimal intervention winemaking results in an organic wine that is a pure expression of Sauvignon Blanc and of Sancerre.
Daniel Hernandez-Brun for K&D: 92 Points
The ’23 Cotes Blanches Blanc is a delightfully pure expression of Sancerre. It is a very pale straw in color, with a youthful green tinge at the rim. The aromatic bouquet practically leaps from the glass with lemon, key lime, and ripe cantaloupe taking center stage. There is an underlying subtle chalkiness that persists on the medium-bodied palate, which is superbly focused and precise. The tart citrus fruit and juicy melon notes lead to a refreshing, bracingly dry finish. Nicolas Millet’s dedication to traditional winemaking and grapegrowing, as well as biodynamic practices in the vineyards, has resulted in a truly lovely range of wines.
Wine Spectator: 90 Points
Hints of tropical richness and honey course alongside notes of apple, melon and subtle spices in this broad, intriguing white. An element of singed orange peel adds to the depth, while radish spice brings contrast to the snappy, focused finale.
