A lovely "Bouquet" from the Loire Valley. Domaine Laporte is the result of a perfect blending of two renowned Sancerre families. Founded in 1850, Domaine Laporte was run until 1986 by René Laporte. A visionary chair of the Sancerre appellation for 20 years. A well-known winegrower from Chavignol, Henri Bourgeois purchased the domaine from René, keeping the old vineyard, cellar and house – and maintaining the excellent reputation. Laporte is one of the most highly respected estates in the Loire Valley and is a certified organic producer. The wine here is made in a very traditional, natural way, employing organic methods and always ensuring a sense of purity and excellence. This elegant Pinot Noir rosé comes from grapes grown on a clay-limestone slope located in Côteaux du Gennoix, north of Sancerre. Harvested at the peak of ripeness, gently pressed, and macerated for three days to achieve a deeper rich color. The freshness of this rosé is very representative of the Loire Valley wines. It has abundant aromas of red berries gives charming fruity notes with suppleness to this easy-to-drink rosé. A great value and a perfect introduction to the wines of the Loire Valley and the style of Laporte. As a rosé with more body than one from Provence, this pairs beautifully with richer dishes than one typically thinks of with rosé. A great option for grilled pork chops with spicy peach chutney, chicken breast stuffed with spinach, mushrooms and dried cranberries, a grilled cheese sandwich with bacon and tomatoes. Still, this rosé has an elegant nature to match with seafood as well but still think of strong flavors such as sesame-crusted tuna with Asian peanut noodles or miso salmon with baby bok choy and kimchee.
