Matthieu Delaporte arrived at the family’s Chavignol-based domaine in 2010 just at age 22 and has brought since a new sense of energy and purpose to the estate. He’s expanded its holdings, ditched the use of herbicides, switched the now 33ha estate to hand harvesting, and now employs sensitive oak use on some cuvées. With vines in both Mont Damnés and Cul de Beaujeu (including a rare Pinot Noir among a sea of Sauvignon vines) they have the raw material to make great wines and there’s certainly more to come from Delaporte.
