Domaine Delaporte Sancerre Chavignol Blanc 2023 Sancerre, France
In Chavignol, one of Sancerre's most distinctive villages, Domaine Delaporte white wines acquire a remarkably layered character. This wine is crafted from estate parcels in different geological zones of the region, ensuring that power, fruit, and roundness beautifully merge rather than remain distinct. The soil also plays a crucial role here. What is silex in Sancerre? It is flint, a soil type strongly associated with the region's mineral and taut style.
Vineyards and region
Its origin gives this Sancerre much more nuance than a single village label might suggest.
- Location / Origin: Domaine Delaporte is located in Chavignol, one of the small villages whose wines are sold under the Sancerre name. The family owns approximately 20 hectares of vineyards in prime locations within the appellation.
- Exposure: The majority of the plots are situated on the slopes of the Monts Damnés. Due to their steep angle relative to the sun, these vineyards benefit optimally from sun exposure, aiding in ripeness and concentration.
- Soil: The soils are rich in limestone and clay, with a noticeable presence of silex. It is precisely this combination that gives the wine its tension, mineral precision, and aromatic complexity.
- Geological diversity: This cuvée is blended from estate vineyards in various geological zones of Sancerre, which imbues the wine with power, fruitiness, and roundness simultaneously.
Grape composition
This wine is entirely built on a single grape variety, precisely what gives it its crisp Loire character.
- Sauvignon Blanc – Sancerre: Sauvignon Blanc forms the complete base here, giving the wine its aromatic nose, fresh acidity, and pronounced fruity profile.
Tasting notes and serving suggestions
Light and clear in the glass, with a remarkably fruity and aromatic bouquet. In the aroma and taste, you'll recognize pineapple, passion fruit, citrus, gooseberry, and other white fruits, supported by fresh acidity with a strong palate-cleansing character. The finish remains lively, crisp, and appetite-stimulating.
- Dishes: River fish and Crottins de Chavignol pair beautifully with this wine, as the fresh acidity and clean mouthfeel work very well with the salty and creamy flavors from the region.
Awards
- 4.0 stars, Vivino: A strong score that demonstrates Domaine Delaporte Sancerre Chavignol Blanc 2023 is highly appreciated by wine lovers.
