Joel Delaunay 2023 Touraine Sauvignon
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. The 2022
is calmer and less pungent than the dramatic 2021.
The 2023 has a nice smoky touch.

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.
