2022 Sancerre Rouge, Le Chant de l'Archer, Daniel Chotard, Loire

Description

This is a blend of two vineyards planted with old vines; La Vallée de la Côte gives finesse, while La Panquenelle brings concentration. This part of Reigny has always been known for producing good Pinot Noir, and the quality has increased in recent years with warmer weather conditions. This is a serious Pinot Noir to rival many in Burgundy, made with around 25-30% whole bunches and aged in 300-to- 500-litre barrels. There is a beautiful, spicy, floral feel to the nose, while the palate is creamy and giving with ripe cherry fruit and cotton-like tannins. This is a wine with real ageing potential.

About this wine

Pinot Noir

Pinot Noir is probably the most frustrating, and at times infuriating, wine grape in the world. However when it is successful, it can produce some of the most sublime wines known to man. This thin-skinned grape which grows in small, tight bunches performs well on well-drained, deepish limestone based subsoils as are found on Burgundy's Côte d'Or. Pinot Noir is more susceptible than other varieties to over cropping - concentration and varietal character disappear rapidly if yields are excessive and yields as little as 25hl/ha are the norm for some climats of the Côte d`Or.

Simon & Daniel Chotard

There have been vignerons in the Chotard family since 1789, but it was in 1992 that Daniel Chotard resumed work at the domaine. With a passion for music, Daniel built the domaine’s reputation around conviviality, often hosting music and wine soirées at the estate. In recent years, his son, Simon, has taken over, pushing the domaine to greater heights with significant improvements in vineyards and wineries.
