Daniel Chotard Sancerre Racines is a 2024 white wine made from Sauvignon Blanc in Sancerre, in France's Loire Valley.
Daniel Chotard and his wife, Brigitte, live just outside Sancerre in the village of Reigny. The Chotard family has been making wine for well over two hundred years, though Daniel started out as a teacher before accepting the family vocation. He and his son Simon farm the slopes of Crezancy-en-Sancerre, where flint meets clay and Kimmeridgian limestone. Farming is sustainable, with organic composts used on the vines. Daniel typically harvests later than his neighbors, which results in less of the acidity typical of the appellation, and aging on the lees rounds the mid-palate. He describes no wines more fondly than he plays his jazz: his wines are luscious and complex, with deep notes and long finales.
