Emmanuel Delaille uses lutte raisonée, or minimum intervention techniques, as well as restricting yields to ensure optimum quality and ripeness of the grapes. Showing crisp gooseberry and lime aromas which follow through to the palate. A period of maturation on the lees has added complexity to the wine.

"This Sauvignon, given ballast by a little Chardonnay, is excitingly smoky with great structure and real zest. It would make a lovely apéritif."

"What a delightful surprise. This is 85% Sauvignon and 15% Chardonnay from one of the lesser byways of the Loire Valley. But it's delicious. It's aggressive, but that's exactly what most boring modern Loire whites lack."
