The 2022 La Cotes des Monts Damnés is a ripe, full-bodied style with power and weight. It is pure, fragrant and attractive even in youth, with floral and richly fruity characters - all nectarine and pineapple flavors. Expect a concentrated, intense wine that retains a sense of purpose and a lightly chalky texture. One for the long haul.

A dense, serious Sancerre, with waxy pear and orchard fruit cut with pithy lemony acidity. Mineral depth anchors all the opulence, while a salted brioche note plays out on the long finish. Complex and ageworthy, with green herbs and a lot of energy and cut. Drink now through 2032. 3,300 cases made, 1,500 cases imported.
