Delaporte 2022 Sancerre "Silex"

1 In stock
White
$44.99

The Delaporte "Silex" is from old vines of Sauvignon Blanc on silex soils in and around Chavignol. The beds of silex stones (flint) are left when the limestone erodes, and represent a small percentage of the soils in Sancerre. The wines show complex, citrusy aromas and fine structure and although they drink beautifully when young, they are capable of ten years or more of cellaring, particulary this example from Matthieu Delaporte. The color is clear with a golden sheen. A very intense and crystalline nose, with white fruits and a touch of citrus, but especially the fine flint aromas characteristic of the terroir. The attack on the palate is ample and round before the minerality takes over, providing an energetic and well-structured frame right up to the very saline finish. (only 12 btls available)
