Joel Delaunay 2021 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. This new vintage flirts with perfection in its blend of tender Sauvignon fruit and gentle minerality.
