As per the 2017, we wonder if another threshold has been reached at Domaine Delaporte. Again the same build on the palate, perhaps more restrained given its youth but that gooseberry and citrus fruit will build into that lovely, mineral, textural weight that Delaporte's Silex wines always seem to have. Lovely focus. Very, very good. L&S (Sep 2019)

Domaine Vincent Delaporte
Patrick and I first visited Vincent Delaporte in 1986, a memorable end to a long day, we finished by tasting older and older red and white Sancerres. His wines were in Steven Spurrier's selection for the Caves de la Madeleine, where I had worked several years earlier, and the London end of which Patrick was running at the time. They have featured in the Lea & Sandeman selection since our very first list. The domaine passed to Vincent's son Jean-Yves and his wife Nathalie, and now their son Mathieu has joined them, after a 'stage' at L&S in the summer of 2012, and taken over the winemaking role. They have recently incorporated the vines of Mathieu's uncle, giving them two new jewels in the crown, decent holdings in the Monts Damnés (white) and Cul de Beaujeu (red).
