Description:
This classy and elegant Sauvignon Blanc is ranked top of Pre Baron's list. The wine displays the classic flinty and gooseberry characteristics of a typical Touraine Sauvignon, but the style is slightly richer and broader. The wine is made from a blend of the best grape parcels producing a sophisticated Touraine Sauvignon which would rival most Sancerres.
Domaine Joel Delaunay ROSE de CABOTIERES Pineau d'Aunis Touraine Rose from France, Loire, Touraine by Domaine Joel Delaunay Pouille Touraine (12 x 75 cl)
Owned by the Davault family since 1898, this estate has produced wine since the 10th century. Low-yielding vines ensure a wine of great concentration and finesse.
This domaine with its beautiful Touraine-style house made out of tufa produces first class Sauvignon from vines grown on perruche soil. The estate is managed according to the Terra Vitis programme, a codified system which posits not only respect for the environment but knowledge of the land, parcel by parcel. This sensitivity to the environment means that natural rather than chemical solutions can be pursued in the vineyard. The grapes are picked at maximum and immediately transported to the winery to prevent oxidation. This Sauvignon de Touraine, which in previous years has garnered high praise from the Guide Hachette, has lifted aromas of elderflower cordial, Victoria plums and hints of grass. The palate is filled with gooseberry fool infused with elderflower and hints of summer fruit. (6 x 75 cl)
