Shop review: "Sauvignon Blanc from France's Loire Valley are wonderfully aromatic and bursting with minerality and freshness. Thierry Delaunay harnesses these characters magnificently in their Sauvignon Blanc from the Touraine sub-region that borders Vouvray. Clay and gravelly soils help give this great Sauvignon its zest and complexity." -Vintage Cellar, 2014
My review: Delaunay Sauvignon Blanc poured a clear to light yellow hue in my glass. Notes of tangerine and grass filled the nose beautifully. On the palate, this wine was medium bodied and dry, with flavors of pears and grass. It was unlike any Sauvignon Blanc's I have tasted in the past because its minerality truly stood out on the tongue. I also tasted notes of flowers and honeydew. This was a great, crisp wine.
Food: I did not pair this wine with food.
