2002 Delaporte Sancerre "Chavignol"

[wondersofwine]

$6.50 for a 3-oz. pour at Vin Restaurant.
Pale straw color with a nice, fruity, pearlike nose. Not as vibrant on the palate as I was expecting from the nose. Less acidic than other vintages? It does deliver a little grapefruit kick on the finish. While this was nice with the Piave Vecchio cheese that topped the heirloom tomato salad with balsamic vinaigrette, I think I prefer the Fourier Grand Cuvee that I posted on earlier.
