Sancerre Les Monts Damnés Delaporte 2018

The wine

Produced in one of the appellation's most rugged terroirs, this wine is the result of fermented Sauvignon Blanc grapes in 600-litre barrique barrels and an élevage of between eight months and a year. It has an attractive golden-yellow appearance and a powerful bouquet dominated by white fruit and sweet spices. The palate is soft and velvety, counterbalanced by a saline, mineral structure.

Created in the 17th century, this family domain has been handed down from father to son since its creation. Matthieu Delaporte has been at the head of the domain since 2010, looking after 33 hectares of vines (majority of Sauvignon Blanc). He has given the domain a new revival. The harvests are manual, and the grapes are farmed according to organic principles so as to allow them to express their original terroir.
