WINE DESCRIPTION
La Grange Tiphaine Ad Libitum Touraine-Amboise is a remarkable wine crafted by Coralie and Damien Delecheneau, the fifth-generation stewards of Domaine de la Grange Tiphaine near Amboise. This biodynamic wine hails from vines deeply rooted in red clay and flint soils with a limestone bedrock, across an 11-hectare estate. Ad Libitum, a blend of Côt, Gamay, and Cabernet Franc, embodies the essence of Touraine's terroir and the Delecheneaus' musical passion. Each varietal undergoes separate maceration and fermentation in concrete vats for 10 to 12 days, followed by 4 months of aging in the same vats. Lightly filtered before bottling, this "vin de soif" offers a pure, expressive taste profile, perfect for everyday enjoyment and versatile pairing.
