Description:
The history that surrounds the Domaine Philippe Gilbert, located in the central French hamlet of Faucards, extends to the reign of Louis XV, when François Gilbert took over the vines of his father in law in 1768, and stretches through nine generations to the current vigneron, Philippe.

A neighbor of Sancerre, close to the Loire Valley, the Menetou-Salon appellation is found north of Borges and covers a modest area of 600 hectares. Menetou-Salon AOC is exclusively planted with pinot noir varietals for the red and rosé, and sauvignon for the white.

Tasting Note:
It exhibits a pale yellow hue with golden highlights. The nose is expressive, revealing notes of ripe citrus fruits, white peach, and subtle hints of flint and wet stone, indicative of its mineral-rich terroir. On the palate, it is fresh and lively, with a crisp acidity that balances the fruitiness. The finish is clean and persistent.
