Domaine VINCENT DELAPORTE Sancerre "Silex" 2021 (White)

Region: Loire Valley - France

Grapes: Sauvignon Blanc

Tastings Notes: Pale gold in colour, the Silex Blanc is an elegant embodiment of sauvignon blanc characteristic of the Sancerre region, with a nose of little white flowers. On the palate, it is silky, round and delicate, with a pleasing richness and complexity on the back palate. It has a good balance between alcohol and acidity levels in the mouth, marked with mellow notes of wood (acacia, well-ripened exotic fruits with minerals in the background). Balance and refinement are the underpinnings of the Cuvée Silex.

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.
