Joel Delaunay 2022 Touraine Sauvignon Blanc
This cuvée offers real typicité year in and year out. Touraine is an extensive region, but the area of Pouillé, where Delaunay has its holdings, stands out for its quality, as evidenced in this estate-bottling. This new vintage has a pungency that would not be out of place in Marlborough!

Notes from the Producer: Tasting Notes: Pale lemon in colour with a powerful, expressive and complex nose (exotic fruits, blackcurrant buds, grapefruit, peach) as well as some floral notes. Well-balanced, long and rich on the palate. Seductively fresh and fruity. Drink chilled (10°C) with fish, oysters and other seafood, or as an aperitif.
