Description

From a tiny parcel of old-vine Pinot Noir on the chalky slopes of Chavignol, François Cotat crafts one of the Loire’s - and the world’s - most quietly revered pink wines.

The 2023 is classic Cotat: a wine of delicacy and depth, with wild strawberry, stone fruit, white flowers and a dusting of white pepper all wrapped in a salty, mineral grip. Like his whites, this is built to age. The palate is textured and elegant, with a quiet confidence that unfolds slowly in the glass.

This is not your average porch-pounder, it’s a rosé that speaks of place, of old vines, and of a winemaker who treats Pinot with the same reverence he gives his legendary Sauvignon Blanc.

Rare, distinctive and quietly complex, it’s a wine that fans wait all year for.

Cotat's rosé is cult and one of a very small group that benefit from (and in some ways demand) aging. Just like Cotat's whites, with age, it's the terroir that comes to dominate the rosé with a singular minerality. There may be a silky texture and gentle floral notes, but it's the stony minerality that defines old Cotat rosé. Sadly, they're as rare as they are beautiful.
