2023 | Daniel Chotard Sancerre Lieu dit Les Coutones | Loire San Lorenzo Initially firm and dryLes Coutones comes from a steep parcel where the soil is so rich in clay that after the rain, it affixes itself to ones boots. That clay keeps cool a site that otherwise faces abundant sun, a balance that allows its fruit a longer ripening phase. The result is full of finesse, the nose exuberant, yet restrained; unripened pineapple, clover, tangerinefull of zest that hints at summer, but remains fresh and green.
