Driven by the unique regulations of the Cheverny AOC, this wine is not a single varietal but an intentional blend composed of 85% Sauvignon Blanc and 15% Chardonnay. The grapes are sustainably grown in sand, clay, and limestone soils, vinified entirely in stainless steel, and aged on its lees to retain maximum freshness while adding subtle texture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eOn the nose, this clear, light straw-colored wine opens with an exuberant bouquet of vibrant citrus, white peach, and tropical notes like passion fruit, mango, and lychee, all accented by a hint of white pepper and summery tomato vine. The palate beautifully showcases the interplay between its two grape varieties. The dominant Sauvignon Blanc base provides a mouthwatering, zippy wave of high acidity, lime zest, and bright minerality that makes it incredibly refreshing—often described by importer Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant as more citrusy than grassy compared to neighboring Sancerre. Meanwhile, the Chardonnay splash adds essential complexity, flesh, and rounding mid-palate weight, introducing notes of Meyer lemon and crisp orchard fruits like apple. It finishes clean, energetic, and flinty, leaving a lingering chalky, saline minerality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eThanks to its dual-varietal composition, this wine offers outstanding versatility at the dinner table, making it a perfect match for both crisp textures and richer flavors. Its high, bracing acidity cuts beautifully through tangy elements, making it an absolute classic alongside a fresh spinach and local goat cheese salad drizzled with citrus vinaigrette. The oceanic, saline minerality of the wine naturally complements lighter, briny seafood dishes such as raw oysters, pan-seared sea scallops, ceviche, fish tartare, or grilled shrimp skewers. Furthermore, the fleshy texture contributed by the Chardonnay allows this bottle to pair effortlessly with vegetarian dishes like roasted asparagus with herbed quinoa, or even heavier proteins like a roasted chicken breast smothered in a light cream sauce.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e750ml\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor's Wine Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48360412578013,"sku":null,"price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0918\/5318\/files\/dSHatjrs.jpg?v=1786482538","url":"https:\/\/taylorswineshop.com\/products\/domaine-du-salvard-cheverny-2025-delaille-blanc","provider":"Taylor's Wine Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
