Domaine Delaporte, Sancerre (Loire Valley, France) 2020

 This delicious wine is rich and generously flavored by comparison to most wines bearing the Sancerre appellation.  Although that might reflect either climate change or this exceptional producer’s commitment to concentration in the wine, the result is the same: fleshy fruit enlivened by bright acidity resulting in a balanced, highly satisfying wine.  If you can hold this for a few years to let the primary fruit flavors to tone down a bit as the underlying minerality becomes more prominent, you’ll have a considerably more complex wine to reward your patience, but there’s no doubting the deliciousness of this as it stands now.
