Region: Loire Valley - France
Grapes: Sauvignon Blanc
Tastings Notes: Pale yellow with white gold lights. Intense and complex nose with first balsamic notes (pine resin, beeswax, eucalyptus) and then floral aromas (acacia flowers, linden) with kiwi, citrus fruits and macaroon notes. The attack is clean, the palate is firm, crispy and brings a nice acidity. After meringue and citrus zest notes, it ends with white flowers and woody notes. Long retro-olfaction with fruit salad aromas.
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.
