Domaine Delaporte in Chavignol
The domaine is located in the heart of the Sancerre region, in the small hamlet of Chavignol.
Domaine Delaporte is a family winery which has been passed from father to son since the 17th century. Today, it is Matthieu Delaporte, who manages the estate. He has undertaken major measures to improve the wine quality: tillage without herbicides, reduced yields and vinification in barrels. From 2020, the estate has embarked on the conversion process to organic farming. With fifty different plots, the terroir of the domain is diverse, from silex to the limestone and kimmeridgian loam soils. The white Sancerre Chavignol from Domaine Delaporte is a Sauvignon Blanc whose vines are 35 years old and grow on south facing slopes ensuring ripe, mature grapes. The most prominent vineyard site in Chavignol is the “Côté des Monts Damnés (The Damned Mountain)” a plot with quite steep and rugged slopes. The Delaporte family is the only producer in the region to produce a Pinot Noir from the walled clos - Cul de Beaujeu, on the famous Monts Damnés hillside.
On Wednesday, March 26th of March, we are delighted to welcome to @chambers.nyc one of the brightest talents of Sancerre, Matthieu Delaporte. Delaporte may not be a name you are familiar with, but it is just a matter of time : since the estate has been in the extremely capable hands of Matthieu who came back in 2010, it is part of the best producers of the region without a doubt. Located in the very heart of the appellation, the hamlet of Chavignon, Domaine Delaporte owns plots in the most famous vineyards of the region : Les Monts Damnés et le Cul de Beaujeu. When Matthieu took over, his priority was a careful evolution in the farming to become truly sustainable, and to be more hands-off in the cellar, including big work done on quality of pressing, spontaneous fermentations, lower amount of sulfur, increase of aging time, diversification of aging vessel, etc. The results are evidently visible today, both for the white and red cuvées, in the terroir definition and the delicacy of details.Arriving
