uncovering the individualist, iconoclast, leader, follower, imitator, trend-setter, inspired and independent; the whore, slut, prude, effeminate, delicate, and luxurious; the animal, the gruff, the masculine, and the muscle-flexing; the smooth, the rough, the balanced and unbalanced, the harmonious and unharmonious, the reserved and outspoken, the adamant and uncertain and the confused; and the simple-minded, homogenous, insipid, and uninspired; in the expression of wine.

Daniel Chotard


Vintage: 2008
Producer: Daniel Chotard
Appellation: Sancerre

On My Palate:

Lime, acid, chalk. Mouthwatering.

The Dregs:

Classic expression of old world Sauvignon Blanc from Sancerre.

Classically paired with Crottin de Chavignol goat cheese. I can see where the hay/barnyard funk from the goat cheese should match the grassiness of Sancerre, but the wine really needed a bit more fat to pair well.

Where:

Loire Valley wine tasting around the granite island in the kitchen at Pierre’s house in Encinitas.
