Patient Cottat was a famous Master Goldsmith from Paris and he loved the scenery, food and wine of the Sancerre region.  This is a brand of the Fournier Family.  The label reads Vin de France, but it’s all estate fruit.  The estate has grown from 13 acres in 1950 to almost 75 acres today, divided over the appellations of  Menetou-Salon, Pouilly-Fumé, and Sancerre.  Aged in stainless steel.  Lime, grapefruit, gooseberry on the attack, finishing with a whiff of bell pepper.

Food Pairing Suggestions:
Enjoy this zesty Sauv Blanc with curried chicken salad tartlets, savory quiches, fish en papillote over crushed parsley potatoes, sweet and sour chicken, roasted chicken over potato gratin dauphinois, pasta with mussels and clams in tomato broth, tandoori chicken with white rice, grilled pepper and chicken fajitas, rosemary-crusted chicken smothered with beurre blanc, and pan-seared cod over goat cheese risotto. This delightful white also pairs beautifully with tangy, soft cheeses like Crottin de Chevignol, Sainte-Maure de Touraine or Valençay
