Winery review: Savignon Blanc from France's Loire Valley are wonderfully aromatic and bursting with minerality and freshness. Thierry Delaunay harnesses these characteristics magnificicently in their Savignon Blanc from the Touraine sub-region that borders Vouvray. Clay and gravelly soils help give this great Savignon its zest and complexity.
My review: The nose on this wine is very nutty. It had a mid-weight body and a distinct sour apple mid pallet. The finish was semi-smooth. I would not try this wine again. I feel like it was trying to do too many different flavors and feels at once without having mastered any of them.
I tried this wine without food.
