Laporte Sancerre Le Grand Rochoy 2023

Domaine Laporte, established in Saint-Satur in 1850, has earned a reputation for quality and a pioneering spirit over several generations. The estate, which is certified organic, aims for purity and excellence while showing great respect for its land. The wine is a benchmark single-vineyard Sancerre from the domaine's iconic flint hillside, 'Le Grand Rochoy', which is a single-vineyard monopoly for the estate.

Wine Description

The aromatic profile is complex, showcasing notes of crisp apple, white peach, and citrus blossom. It is marked by iodine and mineral aromas reminiscent of its flint-rich terroir, with an exotic touch of passion fruit. On the palate, this medium-bodied Sauvignon Blanc is lively, focused, and precise, featuring vivid acidity. It is well-structured and elegant, balancing roundness and liveliness, with a subtle salinity that leads to a long, pure, and saline finish.

Food Pairing

This wine’s vibrant acidity and mineral spine make it an excellent partner for fresh goat cheese, oysters, or grilled sea bass. It also pairs beautifully with vibrant salads, scallops ceviche, or even chicken prepared with citrus marinades.
