Sancerre may be best known for its crisp white wines made from Sauvignon Blanc, but this village has also cultivated Pinot Noir for centuries. Chotard has crafted a delicious, complex, and elegant rouge that gives many village Burgundies a run for their money.

Description
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 was initially reluctant to accept the family vocation and started as a teacher. Daniel is a bit of a Renaissance man. His enthusiasm and passion for learning extends beyond wine and into music; he is a gifted guitarist and accordion player. He organizes lively music and wine soirées that showcase wine as an equally compelling art form to jazz. He has also invited Kermit to bring his rootsy band to perform in Sancerre—stay tuned for concert dates!
