Millesime description
Notre voyage touche à sa fin. Découvrons un dernier vin aux confins de la Touraine, chez Willy Allion, jeune viticulteur passionné sur la commune de Saint Romain sur Cher. La Dilecta, du nom donné par Honoré de Balzac à son premier amour : Mme de Berny, est une cuvée d’exception qui magnifie l’expression du Sauvignon blanc poussé à de très grandes maturités. Ce vin, qui respire les fruits confits, allie puissance aromatique et élégance.
Advice tasting
Appearance Golden colour.
Aroma Exuberant nose combining spices, candied citrus fruits, exotic fruits (pineapple, mango), empyreumatic notes (toast) and a subtle minerality.
Flavour Fleshy, voluminous and warm on the palate, well balanced between sweetness and freshness. Powerful, unctuous and salivating finish, with toasted notes.
