Wine & Spirits List - Riviera Wine 2020-2021

LOIRE
FRANÇOIS COTAT
François Cotat produces some of the most complex and age worthy
wines in Sancerre from a tiny 3ha estate located in Chavignol, famous
for having some of the best soils of Sancerre. Given the steep slopes, all
harvesting is done by hand and grape maturity is pushed to the maximum
for flavour development and depth. In the winery, François employs a very
“hands off” approach, with natural yeasts and slow fermentation in used
oak barrels. Although Sancerre is traditionally consumed whilst youthful,
the wines from Cotat have a remarkable ageing potential.

DOMAINE HUET
If one were to single out the emblematic estate of Vouvray, it would have
to be Domaine Huet. Gaston Huet and his wife built up this world-famous
domaine in the years following its creation by Victor Huet, his father, in
1928. Gaston took over management in 1947 after having been a war
hero and prisoner during the Second World War. The wines are all made
of Chenin Blanc and the style of wine will depend on the vintage and
timing of the harvest. They range from dry to off-dry and fully sweet, but
all maintain a firm, crisp acidity which gives focus and ageing potential
to the wines.
