In an unassuming, modest cellar with old barrels, Pascal Cotat conjures up great wines from the Sauvignon grape, which grows on the almost white soils of Chavignol, and proves once again that truly great wines are made in the vineyard and not in the cellar. Monts Damnes and Le Grand Côte exude complex aromas and are both highly mineral, the former well-proportioned and with a silky texture, the latter full of power and monumental.
