"The vineyard of Monts Damnés may well have excelled in the 2007 vintage, as the wine from François Cotat is stunning in this vintage. The bouquet soars from the glass in a deep and beautifully complex mélange of lemon, pink grapefruit, wet stone, crystalline minerality, floral tones, gentle herbs, citrus peel and incipient notes of beeswax. On the palate the wine is deep, fullish and tightly-knit, with a rock solid core of fruit, stunning transparency, and great focus and cut on the laser-like, racy and very long finish. A brilliant bottle of Sancerre in the making, but I would give it at least three or four years in the cellar before having at it in earnest."
