Domaine Delobel Touraine Sauvignon Blanc Angle Droit 2023 750ml

Expert Review

A great expression of the aromatic richness and finesse of grapefruit, citrus, and lychee. A fresh, crispy, well-balanced, and structured wine.  A delight as an aperitif, paired with asparagus, fish, and seafood.

Winemaker Description

Domaine Delobel is located in Ouchamps, on the Oisly vineyard in the Loire Valley . It was created by Benjamin Delobel , originally from Nord-Pas-de-Calais, in 2013. He has 12 hectares of vines, 10 hectares of Sauvignon Blanc and 2 hectares of Gamay and Pineau d'Aunis. The estate has been run in organic farming, certified since 2013. The farm's vines come from mass selections , which makes it possible to maintain the production quality of the old vines and a rich varietal complexity.

Angle Droit is made from Sauvignon Blanc . Manual harvests are carried out early in the morning, when temperatures are low to avoid oxidation of the juice. The grapes are pressed slowly in a pneumatic press then the wine is cooled in stainless steel vats. Aging is carried out on lees .
