Domaine Delaporte Sancerre

Pale gold with green hints. Very expressive, intense, and complex nose with boxwood, rhubarb, blackcurrant, kiwi fragrances, and a light vegetal touch (marigold). The entry is soft and round—bright freshness on the palate, delicate and lively purity. Well balanced and harmonious, it ends with a clean lingering finish. Winemaker's Notes

This starts off savory, with sea salt and white asparagus accents, but then ripe notes of persimmon and Mandarin orange take over. A flinty spine is the backbone here, while the acidity gives it structure and precision. Drink now through 2028. 91 Points Wine Spectator
