Domaine VINCENT DELAPORTE Sancerre "Silex" 2021 (Red)

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.
