A pale lemon-yellow in the glass. Delicate, fragrant aromas of citrus fruits, green orchard fruits and hazelnuts.. On the palate, dry yet expansive with a reasonably full body. The flavors are clean and refreshing leading to an aromatic finish. The balance between the zesty Sauvignon and the rounder Chardonnay works very well. Great food wine. drink with crayfish with strips of Dover sole in a saffron sauce, chicken piccata or asparagus mousse.
About the Producer
Domaine du Salvard has been a working Domaine since 1898, through five hardworking generations of the Delaille family. Today, all 42 hectares of vineyards are farmed by the capable brother team of Emmanuel and Thierry Delaille, with help from their father Gilbert. To our delight, they have carried on the traditions established by their ancestors, producing a true, classic Cheverny that is both simple and elegant. The Delaille brothers have focused their attention on growing fresh, lively Sauvignon Blanc, deeply rooted in the sand, clay, and limestone plains of northeastern Touraine
