Domaine du Petit Coteau Wines

Sort By:

Domaine du Petit Coteau 2008 L’Etoile Moelleux Chenin Blanc (Vouvray)

Price $22

Full of mango and starfruit flavors to go with the nuts, spice and ripe texture. The wine, made from organic grapes, has richness as much as sweetness, the acidity an important element. For long-term aging. — R.V. (5/1/2010)

Domaine du Petit Coteau 2007 Le Noyer Demi-Sec Chenin Blanc (Vouvray)

Price $19

Given the crispness of much white Loire 2007, this vintage of demi-sec from Domaine du Petit Coteau is better than the sec. It just needs that flavor of white pear juice, smoothing out the acidity, emphasizing nuts, with the taut, mineral structure an added complexity. — R.V. (9/1/2009)

Domaine du Petit Coteau NV Brut Chenin Blanc (Vouvray)

Price $22

Dry in style, freshly crisp with apple skin and lemon flavors. The wine has a touch of almonds to balance the intense fruity acidity. A bright apéritif wine. — R.V. (12/1/2011)

Domaine du Petit Coteau 2007 Les Grenouilles Sec Chenin Blanc (Vouvray)

Price $19

Tight, crisp, dry, full of ultra-fresh apples, this is a pure wine, its fruit from biodynamic grapes, its flavors showing apple skin, grapefruit zest and an edge of green almonds. It needs 2–3 years at least. — R.V. (9/1/2009)

Domaine du Petit Coteau 2006 Les Grenouilles Chenin Blanc (Vouvray)

Price $18

A ripe, rounded wine, with intense flavors of apple skins, pear and white peach, with just a hint of nut. Described as dry, this has some richness to balance the definite acidity, which gives a lift but certainly no hardness. — R.V. (9/1/2008)

Domaine du Petit Coteau 2006 Le Noyer Chenin Blanc (Vouvray)

Price $18

Made in an off-dry style with fresh almond and grapefruit flavors and some good intensity. From biologically grown fruit, this shows crispness and a light edge of tannin. Give it a couple of years. — R.V. (9/1/2008)

Domaine du Petit Coteau 2008 Les Grenouilles Sec Chenin Blanc (Vouvray)

Price $19

Very crisp, slightly lean wine, the acidity dominating the ripe Chenin flavors. Fresh apples and white currant fruit flavors come through strongly. Give it a few more months. — R.V. (5/1/2010)

Domaine du Petit Coteau 2010 Les Grenouilles Sec Chenin Blanc (Vouvray)

Online Exclusive

Price $17

This is Chenin Blanc at its crispest, a mouthfilling burst of perfumed acidity. The flavors are dominated by melon, lemon and a hint of almonds. A great apéritif wine. — R.V. (12/31/2011)
