Drink it now or cellar for up to 5 years. No need to decant. On the very beautiful terroirs of Chavignol, Matthieu Delaporte took over the reins of his family estate in 2010, succeeding his grandfather Vincent. He decided to restructure the 33-hectare estate, and started working the soil without herbicides, and with lower yields. In addition to manual harvesting since 2015, the Delaporte estate has been engaged in conversion to organic farming since 2020. At Delaporte, the Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir grape varieties share the spotlight, and the estate's finest cuvées, notably Silex and Mont Damnés in white and Cul de Beaujeu in red, show an exceptional level of quality. Sancerre Blanc Chavignol reveals an exceptional intensity of ripe fruit on the nose and excellent freshness in the mouth. It appears in beautiful pale gold, well imbued with green nuances. The olfactory profile is particularly complex with aromas of white flower, rhubarb, blackcurrant, kiwi, and discreet exotic touch. On the palate, it is round and soft. A nice freshness sets in gradually, turning into a delicate vivacity on the finish. It’s all balanced and harmonious, with a beautiful and long aromatic aftertaste. This Sancerre is a delicious aperitif and works well with shellfish, roasted poultry, and raw fish.
