Product description
Domaine Vincent Delaporte's Sancerre Blanc 2023 is a quintessential expression of Sauvignon Blanc from the prestigious Sancerre appellation in the Loire Valley. This wine reflects the estate's commitment to crafting elegant and terroir-driven wines.
Vineyard and Terroir
The vineyards are located in Chavignol, a village renowned for its exceptional terroir. The vines benefit from a unique mix of limestone and clay soils, which impart a signature minerality and complexity to the wine. Sustainable vineyard practices further enhance the quality and purity of the fruit.
Winemaking Process
The grapes are hand-harvested at optimal ripeness to preserve their aromatic intensity. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to retain fresh fruit flavors and aromatic precision. The wine is then aged on fine lees to develop its texture and enhance its depth.
