Racines — 'roots' — is a nod to a Chotard winegrowing history that stretches back more than two centuries, and the wine itself comes from a tiny old-vine parcel (vines averaging forty-five to sixty-five years old) on Kimmeridgian limestone. Unlike the estate's classic stainless-steel Sancerre, Racines is vinified and aged in 300- and 500-liter oak barrels, a choice that adds texture and a fine wood grain without ever stepping on the wine's chalky tension. The result is Sancerre at its most ambitious from this address: layered, taut, and built for the cellar. Decant if you're opening it young; even better, give it five more years.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What has to say about this wine:

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Lobster, butter-poached turbot, roast chicken with morels, Comté or aged Gruyère, or veal in cream sauce. A serious wine for serious food.

Tasting Profile

Pale gold. Lemon curd, white peach, salted almond, fennel pollen, and crushed chalk, with a subtle frame of toasted oak. Medium- to full-bodied, with cutting acidity, a layered mid-palate, and a long, mineral, structured finish.
