Daniel & Simon Chotard

Simon Chotard

“Simon Chotard is the great revelation of Sancerre on the last four vintages. Out first of the class of school oenology from Toulouse, he gives to wines of the family domain wines a precision and a depth praiseworthy. Here vintages are of a high level and are good value for money” – La Revue du Vin de France
