Domaine Laporte, La Terre des Anges Sancerre 2019

Vinous Reverie Notes
Domaine Laporte is the result of a perfect blending of two renowned Sancerre families. Founded in 1850 in the village of Saint-Satur, Domaine Laporte was run until 1986 by Rene Laporte. A visionary chair of the Sancerre appellation for 20 years, Rene was a pioneer in producing low-yield, high-quality Sancerre during a time of over-production. A well-known winegrower from Chavignol, Henri Bourgeois purchased the domaine from Rene, keeping the old vineyard, cellar and house – and maintaining the excellent reputation. Now under the watchful eyes of Henri’s two grandsons, Arnaud and Cedric Bourgeois, Domaine Laporte is one of the most highly respected estates in the Loire Valley.
