Coralie et Damien Delecheneau - Touraine - Ad Labitum - Rouge - 2023

Wine:

The 2023 red Touraine Ad Libitum is a light, charming red, full of greed and spirit. We immediately appreciate its delicate nose expressing notes of flowers and graphite, in a very pure aroma preserved by sober ageing. The palate is refreshing, dynamic and pure, fully expressing the crispness of Gamay and the graphite flavors of Cabernet Franc and Côt. A winning trio, ideal for red meats, grilled poultry or fine charcuterie. The Committee's favorite, rated 93/100.
