In 2023, Matthieu Delaporte decided to make only one red instead of the usual three, so this is from a blend of his three sites around Chavignol. It has a bright, concentrated, confit strawberry nose with hints of oak. The fruit is pure and savoury, with excellent, balanced, fresh acidity and good length. All bunches were destemmed, making this a plush, approachable wine that is easily enjoyed immediately.

There is a good depth of flavor here, a wine that’s both firmly structured with hints of coffee as well as red hedgerow fruits. A fine balance with the acidity and tannins gives the wine a chance to age for 3–5 years. - Roger Voss

"Red Sancerre is enjoying a renaissance thanks to a new generation of producers. Mathieu Delaporte has taken the estate's entire range to another level. including this delicate Pinot Noir. Perfumed with raspberry and redcurrant, it's light yet succulent, mineral and food-friendly."

Based in the village of Chavignol, this producer has crafted a young and structured red. Tannins are bound up with red-cherry fruits and acidity to give a wine with good potential.

In this rounded wine, generous black-cherry fruits are balanced by acidity and a light touch of tannins. This perfumed wine is open, packed with fruit and a peppery edge.

Pale cherry red. Intensely fragrant red fruit, singing in the glass. But there’s a touch of savoury spice to anchor it. Smooth, scented, delicious with just the right amount of grip to frame all that lovely fruit. Gentle and persistent.
