Domaine Laporte : Les Garennes 2020

A Sancerre white wine with an alluring and elegant aromatic expression

The estate

Founded in 1850, Domaine Laporte has housed two great and passionate Sancerre families, the Laporte family and the Bourgeois family. Succeeding one another in this iconic land, these families have lent their prestige to this estate. In 1986, the Bourgeois family acquired the estate and since then, they have been actively involved in sublimating each vintage with their ancestral know-how. On the estate's land, the grapes are particularly well cared for. Certified in organic farming since the 2013 vintage, Domaine Laporte uses a plot-based vinification process. Offering a wide range of Loire wines, they are renowned for their high quality and are the centrepiece of the finest and gourmet tables in both France and abroad.
