Touraine is the savvy place to look if you’re after a Sauvignon blanc which combines great value with great flavour. The Loire is Sauvignon Blanc’s homeland. So it’s no surprise that Loire native, Thierry Delaunay, is passionate about the grape. Decades of his family making wine in the region means he has the pick of the crop when it comes to choosing grapes for his wines. He looks for the best grapes from the best pockets of vines in Touraine – and the results speak for themselves. This Sauvignon is seriously refreshing, seriously citrusy, and seriously good value. You’ll find nothing finer to pair with a goat’s cheese tart. And its more restrained flavour profile makes it a perfect party wine. Santé.
