"Founded in 1850 in Saint-Satur, Domaine Laporte now spans 21 hectares overlooking the town of Sancerre and its unique geological formations. Situated on the banks of the Loire and adjacent to Saint-Satur, the estate has long been considered the gateway to the Sancerre appellation.
 
 
The decision to convert the vineyard to organic agriculture arose in 1990, following a series of challenges from nature. Preserving this heritage became a priority, with vineyard practices designed to ensure its long-term sustainability. The Sancerre vineyard has been certified organic since 2013.
 
 
Since 1986, the estate has been owned by the Bourgeois family, winemakers from Chavignol. Each generation has contributed their expertise, vintage after vintage. Parcel-by-parcel vinification, historically practiced at the estate, is a distinguishing feature and forms the foundation of a well-regarded range of wines that grace top tables in France and internationally.
 
 
Vinification : gentle pneumatic pressing at low pressure, cold static settling, fermentation in stainless steel tanks for about 10 days, followed by 3 months ageing in stainless steel tanks.
 
 
Nose : aromatic and expressive, with white flowers, citrus (grapefruit, lemon), light herbal notes, and a hint of mint.
 
 
Palate : lively, fresh, and fruity, with a pure and elegant character, offering enough body to be satisfying without heaviness."
