Domaine Laporte – Les Grandmontains 2014 – Sancerre

The nose is fruity, gourmand and offers elegance. It reveals notes of strawberry, cherry, raspberry and slight notes of cassis associated with a discreet toasted, zan as well as an imperceptible hint of mushroom (in the background). The palate is fruity, well-balanced, nicely gourmand and offers finesse, suavity, a slight juicy frame, a nice structure as well as a racy minerality. In the mouth this wine expresses notes of raspberry, crushed strawberry and blackberry associated with slight/discreet touches of crushed redcurrant, toasted oak, sweet spices as well as a very discreet hint of cardamom and an imperceptible hint of mushroom in the background. Tannins are well-built. Good length and beautiful persistence.
