THIERRY DELAUNAY TOURAINE SAUVIGNON BLANC 2023 AP

When I think of Loire Sauvignon Blanc, I think of wines like this one. This perfumed wine opens with nectarine, orange zest, lilac, honeydew melon and dried white blossom. A handful of field herbs chimes in on the palate, along with lemon citrus that cascades through to a long finish. Best Buy. Score: 91 (Reggie Solomon, Wine Enthusiast , Sept. 30, 2024) Aromatic & Flavourful 391847 (XD) 750 mL $17.95 2

A fruit-driven, juicy and laid-back red blend of syrah, grenache and carignan. It has aromas of cherries, roasted meat and baking spices, following through to a medium body with fine, firm tannins. Chalky and linear with a simple finish. From organically grown grapes. Drink now. Score: 89 (james suckling.com, Sept. 11, 2024) Medium-bodied & Fruity 251587 (XD) 750 mL $18.95 1 Featured in Good Partners 4 Organic product RHÔNE DOMAINE CHANTE-PERDRIX CHÂTEAUNEUF-DU-PAPE 2022 AC Peppery herbs, leather, graphite, and some chocolaty notes all emerge from Chante-Perdrix’s 2022 Châteauneuf Du Pape, a medium to full- bodied, mouth-filling, round, nicely concentrated 2022 that shows the stunning, perfumed, complex style of the vintage beautifully. Based on 65% Grenache, 15% Syrah, 15% Mourvèdre, and 5% Muscardin, it’s well worth having in the cellar and will drink nicely over the coming decade. Maturity: 2024- 2034.
