2023 Domaine Laporte "Le Bouquet" Sauvignon Blanc, Loire Valley, France
ABOUT THIS WINE
The grapes come mainly from the slopes of the Loire Valley known as "The Garden of France". This area stretches from the Auvergne to the Atlantic Ocean on 13 departments. After the harvest, the grapes are pressed and the must is fermented between 15-18°C in stainless steel tank to become wine. Then this young wine is aged on his fine lees during 3 months before bottling.Â
ABOUT THIS PRODUCER
For several generations, Domaine Laporte has occupied a pioneering position and acquired a reputation for the quality of its wines. This notoriety is the fruit of the rigor, the determination, and the know-how of two passionate Sancerre families who have succeeded each other at its helm.Â
The property covers 21 hectares (52 acres) in the heart of the Sancerre appellation, planted with Sauvignon Blanc for the whites, and Pinot Noir for the reds and rosés. Each of the wines is vinified separately, expressing the type of soil on which the vines are grown: for instance "Le Rochoy", a monopoly vineyard on flint terroir or "La Comtesse", located on the Kimmeridgian marls of the famous hillside "Les Monts Damnés" in Chavignol. Since 1986, Domaine Laporte has been the property of the Bourgeois Family, a historic producer in Chavignol.
Every generation who has worked at the winery has brought its know-how, vintage after vintage. The historic plot by plot approach of the domain is a distinctive element that is at the origin of our extensive range and is a key element to the Laporte wines that can be found in many outstanding restaurants and wines shops in France and around the world. Led by a young and passionate team, our family estate is recognized today amongst the top producers in the appellation of Sancerre.
