Product notes

In the 12th century, Etienne, Count of Sancerre, gave a slope located in Ménétréol to the religious order of Grandmontains. Aware of the exceptional quality of the soil, they developed viticulture on this hillside. The Laporte estate has a vineyard of 4.8 hectares located in the heart of this plot whose land consists of clay rich in pebbles.

Production notes

After pneumatic pressure and after settling at low temperature, the wine ferments in stainless steel tanks between 18 ° C and 20 ° C. No malolactic fermentation is carried out, the wine is then aged on its fine lees until bottling in June.

Tasting notes

The white Sancerre "Les Grandmontains" is characterized by delicate aromas of ripe fruit and exotic fruits such as mango. In the mouth, the balance is remarkable. This wine has a round, velvety and silky structure, and expresses a minty freshness on the finish. On the palate, the final note is long and elegant.
