Laporte ‘Le Bouquet’ Loire Valley Pinot Noir Ros 2020

Description

Chalk and limestone. The grapes come from Cteaux du Gennoix, north of Sancerre.
Grapes are harvested when ripe, gently pressed and macerated in vats for three days. The fermentation continues in vats until bottling.

The freshness of this ros is very representative of the Loire Valley wines. Aromas of red berries give charming fruity notes to this easy-to-drink ros.

Domaine Laporte is the result of a perfect blending of two renowned Sancerre families. Founded in 1850 in the village of Saint-Satur, Domaine Laporte was run until 1986 by Ren Laporte. Ren was a pioneer in producing low-yield, high-quality Sancerre during a time of overproduction. Domaine Laporte is one of the most highly respected estates in the Loire Valley. It holds more than 74 acres, and the flagship Sancerre comes from one of the finest vineyards in the appellation, Domaine du Rochoy, a 25-acre monopole vineyard carved out of the flint hillside overlooking the Loire River.
