Review: Sauvignon Blanc from France's Loire Valley are wonderfully aromatic and bursting with minerality and freshness.  Thierry Delaunay harnasses these characteristics magnificently in their Sauvignon Blanc from the Touraine sub-region that borders Vouvray.  Clay and gravelly soils help give this great Sauvignon its zest and complexity.
My Review:  The nose of this great wine was very explosive.  The taste was very earthy, and I tasted a very faint, refreshing fruitiness also.
