Domaine Vincent DELAPORTE - Chavignol - Sancerre Blanc 2019
Domaine Delaporte is located in the Loire Valley, in the Sancerre appellation in the heart of the village of Chavignol. It is a family-owned estate, passed down from father to son since the 17th century. Since 2010, it is Matthieu Delaporte, Vincent’s grandson who manages the estate and he has undertaken major restructuring: tillage without herbicides, lower yields, vinification in barrels. To make these changes a reality, the estate is embarking on the conversion process to organic farming from 2020. The production wines are exclusively harvested from the 33 hectares of the property, which are planted with 75% Sauvignon Blanc, and for the rest of Pinot Noir.
The White Sancerre Chavignol from Domaine Delaporte is a Sauvignon Blanc whose vines are 35 years old and come from clay-limestone soils. Fermentation is carried out in stainless steel tanks and the wine is aged on fine lees for 6 months.
Grape variety: 100% Sauvignon Blanc
