The 2022 white Menetou-Salon delivers a Sauvignon Blanc of great brilliance, pure and finely crafted, without any oaky character. Here, we find the most striking dimension of the varietal: its mineral character complemented by notes of white flowers and citrus zest. A fresh, particularly elegant white wine, it pairs delightfully with raw, marinated, or grilled fish.Vinification:
Mechanical harvesting, vinification in stainless steel vats, aged on fine lees.Color:
