Sancerre, Central Vineyards, Loire Valley, France
Compact, pure, distinctive. Recent trip to Sancerre has reinvigorated my interest in this region where wines from great terriors are abound. This is ample, with plenty of energy and zip but offers more impact on the palate. Aromatically intriguing and complex. A really great bottle of Sauv Blanc

Wine with great body and texture. Floats gently in the palate with ripe fruit, substancial minerality, and refreshing acidity.

Delaporte never disappoints. This is a great Sancerre blanc. Lemon, lemon zest, a tiny bit of cat piss and a tiny flinty thing, too. The palate is very well made, showing a great acid drive, some width, some nice lemony touches all along, even some lemon curd notes in the backend. The rear of the palate is pretty wide and makes way to a very long, fruity, soft and fresh finish with lemon and that zing that makes you reach for the bottle for another glass right after the first one. This great stuff, really!

A lot of honey and honeysuckle flower on the nose, some herbaceous notes.
A good balance of honey and lime flavors. Nice medium plus refreshing acid.
