Gilbert Menetou-Salon Blanc
| Vintage: | 2022 |

| Description: | Philippe Gilbert makes beautiful wines in Menetou-Salon, which abuts Sancerre, including lovely rosé and red from Pinot Noir and superb Menetou-Salon blanc from Sauvignon Blanc, certified Biodynamic by Demeter. The living soils are evident in the excellent 2022, showing elegant aromas of pear, fig, citrus peel, lime flower, anise, smoke and stone. The palate is very mineral with firm chalky acidity unerlying ripe, supple white fruits with almond, citrus, stone and herbal flavors. The wine shows extra richness and complexity due to the 14 month sur-lie aging. Terrific on day two, with beautiful sapid fruit, anise and mineral flavors in the finish, delicious. This is a great pairing with any mild fish preparation, white meats and goat cheeses and it's far superior to Sancerres in this price range. David Lillie |
