Tasting Note
Pascal Cotat Chavignol Rosé 2022 is precise, mineral, and quietly powerful. Delicate aromas of wild strawberry, red currant, sour cherry, and blood orange are layered with subtle floral notes and crushed limestone. The palate is bone-dry and finely structured, showing restrained red fruit, vibrant acidity, and a pronounced chalky, saline core. Focused and food-driven rather than overtly fruity, it finishes long, taut, and beautifully balanced—an intellectual, terroir-first rosé.
About the Winery, Production & Critical Reputation
Pascal Cotat is one of the most revered producers in Chavignol and all of Sancerre, celebrated for wines that emphasize terroir, restraint, and longevity. This rosé is made from Pinot Noir grown on the same steep Kimmeridgian limestone slopes that underpin Cotat’s legendary whites, giving it structure and mineral tension rarely seen in rosé. Vinified with minimal intervention and no attempt to chase colour or fruit sweetness, Cotat’s rosé is prized by sommeliers for its seriousness, age-worthiness, and gastronomic versatility. The 2022 vintage delivered clarity, freshness, and balance, reinforcing the wine’s reputation as one of the Loire Valley’s most distinctive and compelling rosé expressions.
