Located in the heart of the Sancerre region, Domaine Delaporte is a family business in the picturesque village of Chavignol. The vines that make this delicious white wine grow on slopes with a southeast exposure and enjoy a great deal of sun during the average day. The Sauvignon Blanc vines that produce this wine have an average of 35 years and thrive in the limestone soil and the sunny southeastern exposure of this vineyard. Using no herbicides or insecticides, the grapes for this wine are hand-picked and stainless steel fermented. The result is a wine that has a beautiful pale gold color with a very expressive nose of boxwood, marigold and even a hint of kiwi. Bright and fresh on the palate, this wine has a delicate but zesty flavor. Well balanced and harmonious, the mouthfeel stays lively right thru the clean and lingering finish. This wine is perfect with everything from takeout sushi to some delicious grilled fish.
