What importer Bowler Wine has to say about this wine...
From one of Sancerre's most famous single-vineyard sites. La Cote des Monts Damnes has very steep slopes with south, south-east exposure and the vines are planted at 250 - 350 meters altitude. Like all of Yves Martin's wines, the fermentation is spontanoeus with indigenous yeasts. It's aged in tank and about 20% barrels on the fine lees in stainless steel. Pierre described the soils in Mont Damnes as cooler compared to Beaujeu due to the fact that there are natural springs in some of the forests interspersed throughout the vineyard. On the palate, the Mont Damnes is full of elegance, more linear than the Beaujeu and very mineral. It's very special to be able to taste wines from these two sites that show the terroir in such a pure and unadulterated way.

Loire Valley Wines
The Loire Valley is France’s greatest source of value for anyone looking for elegant, terroir-driven wines. Our collection celebrates the region’s great diversity, with the mineral-driven whites of Muscadet and Sancerre, the beautiful Chenin Blancs and Cabernet Francs from villages like Vouvray and Chinon, and natural wines from everywhere in the region. Sometimes wonderfully fresh and gulpable, sometimes serious and age-worthy, the prices are always very reasonable.
