Roger Voss, March 2023 (Vintage 2021)

After aging for 10 months in large wood barrels, the wine has a broad, ripe feel. Its creamy texture shows density as well as lime and grapefruit fruits. From one of the top vineyards sites in Chavignol, the wine should age. Drink from 2024.

Green apple and wet stones - something very chalky, smokey and mineral about this with a relaxed feel. Quite a cooling white stone fruit aspect alongside hints of florality and some toasted cinnamon accents around the edges. Director and winemaker Matthieu Delaporte.

Rebecca Gibb MW, August 2025 (Vintage 2023)

This is a pure style from four different parcels on the very chalky slopes of Les Monts Damnés. It offers a tender richness of flesh to sink your teeth into. This is medium in length and has a sense of not trying too hard and exudes flavors of lemon, chamomile and honey purity. Delaporte is currently just one of only two producers on Monts Damnés that are certified organic.

September 2019

Fresh and pure, featuring a firm spine of acidity behind the focused flavors of lime, white pepper and fleur de sel. Crunchy in texture, this shows some character, with great tension through the finish.
