Sancerre La Grande Côte (Magnum) 2014 François Cotat
キンメリジャンの急斜面が生む、緊張感。
キンメリジャン石灰質の急斜面ラ・グラン・コートから生まれるサンセール。淡い黄金色から、白い花や熟した洋梨、白桃に続き、レモンピールや青リンゴ、チョークや火打石の香りが現れ、時間とともにハチミツやアーモンドが加わります。冷涼な2014年らしい引き締まった酸が背骨を成し、マグナムならではのゆるやかな熟成がもたらす丸みと奥行きも。余韻には石灰の粉っぽさが長く残ります。帆立のグリルや牡蠣のグリルとともに。
Tasting note
Pale golden in color. Upon tipping the glass, aromas of white flowers, ripe pear, and white peach emerge, followed by lemon peel, green apple, and mineral notes of chalk and flint. Over time, honey, almond, and a subtle hint of smoke are added, creating a complex layered finish. The palate is backbone-filled with firm acidity, showcasing the tension and supple energy of a cool vintage. The fruit is delicate yet concentrated, with citrus and white peach blended with salty minerals. The gradual aging of the magnum gives it a rounded, deep flavor, and the finish is marked by a lingering aroma of powdery lime and lemongrass.

This is one of Sancerre's finest wines, hailing from the steep Kimmeridgian limestone slopes of La Grande Côte. 2014 is a classic, cool vintage, showcasing pure citrus and white peach fruit, with chalky minerality providing a sense of tension. Aging also brings out nuances of honey and nuts, giving this magnum the scale and depth it deserves.
