Domaine Delaporte Sancerre, Loire, France 2023

Domaine Delaporte, located in Chavignol in Sancerrois, is a family business handed down since the 17th century. Currently managed by Matthieu Delaporte, grandson of Vincent Delaporte, the estate is distinguished by its commitment to quality. Since 2015, the harvest has been entirely manual, and in 2023, the estate obtained organic farming certification. The estate, which extends over 33 hectares, cultivates Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir, with strong respect for the terroir and the environment.

Pale gold with green hints. Very expressive, intense and complex nose with boxwood, rhubarb, blackcurrant, kiwi fragrances and a light vegetal touch (marigold). The entry is soft and round. Bright freshness on the palate, delicate and lively purity. Well balanced and harmonious, it ends with a clean lingering finish.

As a young wine, it is a superb aperitif and a marvelous companion for shellfish. It is also excellent with oriental dishes, fish dishes, sushi, grilled or fish with a sauce. Also very good with roasted white meats and poultry.
