Domaine Daniel Chotard Sancerre 2024

$4199

Daniel Chotard was a teacher and a musician, and a distinctly reluctant heir to his family's vines in Crezancy-en-Sancerre, until the work got hold of him and he passed the obsession on to his son Simon, who runs the place today. Simon farms sustainably and feeds the vines with organic compost, but the decision that really defines this wine is when he picks: consistently later than his neighbors. That later harvest, plus time on the lees, gives a Sancerre with a rounder middle and less of the razoring acidity the appellation trades on. If Sancerre has ever struck you as thin or aggressively green, start here. It has been a house favorite for years, and it stays that way for good reason.

More about Domaine Daniel Chotard

Daniel is a bit of a renaissance man. A teacher, musician and at first reluctant inheritor of his family’s estate in the village of Crézancy-en-Sancerre. Daniel eventually came to love his work in the vines and the cellar and passed this love on to his son Simon, who is now in charge of daily operations.

Simon has instituted a few key changes. Though farming has long been sustainable he now uses organic treatments almost exclusively (though they’re not seeking certification). And in the cellar he’s ended the occasional practice of using commercial yeasts, opting for the native cellar and vine yeasts only. But the wines are still fermented and aged in a combination of steel tanks and large, neutral wood barrels.
