"Thierry Delaunay’s 21 hectares of vineyards are situated in Pouillé above the banks of the Cher, 50 kilometres east of Tours. This is the very center of the appellation contrôlée region of Touraine. These vineyards have been cultivated by 5 generations of the same family, passing from father to son. The first wines were bottled at the domaine in 1971. Since then, the Delaunay family has worked to improve the quality of their wines by combining the best of traditional practices with the latest wine making technology. Their wines have steadily gained a reputation both in France and abroad as exceptionally well-crafted, modern-styled expressions of Touraine wines. To satisfy the ever-increasing demand for his wines, Thierry has developed a successful negociant trade. Sourcing grapes from his own vineyards and from local growers, Thierry has created “La Vignette” Touraine Sauvignon and Touraine Gamay and Rosé. These wines offer exceptional value in the charming, refreshing style of classic Loire Valley wines. " - Michael Corso
