A Tuscan red wine with ripe red fruit, violet, vanilla and sweet spice.
$280.00
Ripe white fruit and a broad, rounded palate are held in focus by a taut, mineral finish.
Domaine Laporte’s 2017 La Vigne de Beaussoppet shows a generous side of Pouilly-Fumé. A short period in barrel brings breadth to the Sauvignon Blanc, while ripe white-fruit character is balanced by a firm line of freshness. The result is a Loire white with enough substance for a seafood main course, rather than just an aperitif.
Grilled lobster or roast turbot suits its breadth; a lemon-butter sauce picks up the wine’s balance of richness and freshness.
