SancerreLesMAGES2023DomaineSergeLaporte

The Laporte’s limited production ‘Les MAGES’ is a classical selection from the Kimmeridgian marl soils of the Cote d’Amigny, aged slowly on its lees for 18 months in vat. This a special cuvee with fantastic complexity, great purity of fruit and near-perfect balance. It will continue to develop beautifully in the bottle for 3-7 years. Mages is, in fact, an acronym for Marylise, Alexandre, Guillaume, Elisabeth and Serge – the whole Laporte family!

Perfect with fish or white meat in creamy sauces.

DOMAINE SERGE LAPORTE

Situated in the village of Chavignol, about 2km from Sancerre, this 10 hectare domaine is made up of numerous small parcels scattered throughout the Chavignol commune, long regarded as one of the top crus of Sancerre. The different cuvees come together to give a wine of great complexity and elegance, reflecting the terres blanches (chalky) and caillotes (limestone-pebbly) soil-types found in Chavignol which are so ideal for the Sauvignon Blanc.

Serge and Elisabeth Laporte have now been joined by their son Guillaume who spent three years studying oenology at Tours. His input into the wine making has added further definition and dimension to an already excellent selection of wines.
