Drink it now or cellar for up to 10 years. No need to decant. Passed down from father to son since the 17th century, Domaine Delaporte is located in the heart of Sancerrois, in the village of Chavignol. Since 2010, Matthieu Delaporte, grandson of Vincent Delaporte, is in charge of the 33 hectares of vines that make up the Delaporte estate, mainly planted with Sauvignon Blanc (75% of the vineyard). Matthieu has brought a wind of modernity into the estate by introducing manual harvesting and an organic approach, to highlight the personality of each of the terroirs. The grapes come from vines over 50 years old. After reaching maximum maturity in October, the grapes are harvested aby hand and introduced in whole bunches in the pneumatic press. The pressing is light and slow to obtain a clear juice of the highest quality. The must is then placed in 600-liter barrels for fermentation. Production is limited to around 20 barrels each year. It remains there for 12 months before bottling. The color is clear with golden reflections. On the nose, the wine shows great finesse with delicate aromas of white flowers, very ripe exotic fruits, and mineral notes. On the palate, it is a silky, delicate, and sensual wine, with a lot of richness and complexity in the finish. There is a good balance between alcohol and acidity, and some gentle and well integrated woody notes. Try with shellfish or seafood.
