WINE DESCRIPTION
Laporte Le Rochoy Silex Sancerre is a premium white wine produced by the renowned Laporte winery in the Sancerre appellation of France. The wine is made from Sauvignon Blanc grapes grown in the Le Rochoy vineyard, which is known for its unique silex soil that imparts a distinct minerality to the wine. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the grapes, gentle pressing, and fermentation in stainless steel tanks to preserve the freshness and purity of the fruit. The resulting wine is crisp, elegant, and complex, with aromas of citrus, white flowers, and flint. Laporte Le Rochoy Silex Sancerre is a perfect example of the high-quality, terroir-driven wines that Sancerre is famous for.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
The Laporte Le Rochoy Silex Sancerre has an inviting aroma of citrus and stone fruits with a salty minerality that is balanced by a hint of herbaceousness.On the palate, it is pleasantly dry and zesty, with a crisp acidity that leads to a long, lingering finish. Its light body, vibrant acidity and unique mineral character make this a wine to remember.
