Delaporte Sancerre Blanc Monts Damnes 2023

✓ I lager

Drink it now or cellar for up to 15 years. No need to decant. Created by Vincent Delaporte, the Domaine Delaporte is now run by his grandson Matthieu with a masterful hand since his arrival in 2010 at the age of 22. His modern vision of viticulture led him to work the plots separately. Thanks to the variety of terroirs at his disposal, the young winegrower produces superb plot cuvées through organic viticulture and meticulous vinifications. The vineyards, located in Chavignol, extend over more than 12 hectares of flint soil. The estate has cult plots such as Monts Damnés, Cul de Beaujeu and La Côte. The grapes come from the vineyard on the coast of the Monts Damnés which is located on a very rugged and steep hill of Chavignol on the soil of Kimmeridgian marl and was planted around the tenth century by the Benedictine monks of the Abbey of Saint-Satur. The wine has a splendid golden color. The nose is powerful and rich in flavors where fruits and white flowers predominate, with very ripe pear and peach, enhanced by nuances of noble spices and balsamic notes. In the mouth, the wine is round, dense, and velvety with a balanced freshness and a salty and persistent finish. Have it with tuna or mackerel.
