Joel Delaunay 2024 Touraine Sauvignon
This cuvée offers real typicité year in and year out. Touraine is an extensive region, but the area of Pouill é, where Delaunay has its holdings, stands out for its quality, as evidenced in this estate-bottling. 30% of the wine received skin contact, which imparts an especially pleasing texture to complement the expected Sauvignon style.

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.
A very good Touraine Sauvignon blanc perfect for aperitif with lot of fruit and minerality. Very good value compare to others Loire Sauvignon blanc.
