Sauvignon Blanc Trinqu’ames La Grange Tiphaine

Sauvignon Blanc Trinqu’ames Delecheneau from the Loire Valley is a crisp, lively expression of the grape, offering a classic Touraine style with refreshing minerality and herbaceous notes. Produced using lutte raisonnée principles, this thirst-quenching wine comes from Damien and Coralie Delecheneau of La Grange Tiphaine, though they handle only the vinification. It has been described as the fun substitute teacher for Sancerre that you never want to leave—a fitting description for such an enjoyable and great-value wine.  

Made from organically and biodynamically farmed Sauvignon Blanc, this 2023 vintage is medium-bodied with a dry, vibrant profile and an alcohol content of 13% ABV. With an annual production of 5,000 to 10,000 bottles, it is crafted with care and attention to terroir. The grapes are hand-harvested and gently pressed in a pneumatic press before being transferred by gravity to settle in inert vats. The resulting wine is elegant, balanced, and full of character, with the potential to age for 3–5 years.  

Coralie and Damien Delecheneau took over the family estate in 2002, running it with deep respect for nature and the traditional techniques of the region. Their vineyards, cultivated with a commitment to organic and biodynamic practices, produce a diverse range of wines from Chenin Blanc, Cot/Malbec, Gamay, Cabernet Franc, Sauvignon Blanc, and Grolleau. This meticulous approach ensures that each wine carries a true sense of place, delivering purity and elegance in every bottle.
