Domaine Delobel Touraine Sauvignon Blanc Angle Droit 2023 750ml

Expert Review - Vintage 2023

Reggie Solomon of the Wine Enthusiast 88 Points | This wine has a reserved nose of Fuji apple, dried mango, wet stone and pear. Lemon citrus leads on the mineral-driven palate with a supportive, tamed acidity in the background that lifts the finish. Confidently serve this medium-bodied Sauvignon Blanc as an aperitif or pair alongside a meal. 

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 .
