Domaine VINCENT DELAPORTE Sancerre "Silex" 2021 (Red)
$68.00
Region: Loire Valley - France
Grapes: Pinot Noir
Tastings Notes: A beautiful ruby-crimson colour with reflections of black cherry. The aromatics are intense, with roasted, grilled and toasted notes dominating. On the attack, the wine is clean, with a roundness giving a delicious unctuousness. This is followed by the tannins, already soft and silky throughout. The Cuvée Silex is a full-bodied red Sancerre vin de prestige with character. Its finish shows classic notes of maturity (caramel, fruit compote).
About the Winery:
Since 2010 Vincent Delaporte's grandson, Matthieu Delaporte, has been fully focused on further improving the Domaine's wines. A more organic approach has been adopted in the vineyards with herbicides no longer being used. Yields have been lowered, and oak is being judiciously introduced to the vinification.
