Menetou-Salon | White | 2022

This wine is made exclusively from Sauvignon Blanc grapes sourced from Clos des Treilles. Located on a hillside in Parassy with excellent south/southeast exposure, the vineyard benefits from Kimmeridgian clay-limestone soils. The winemaking process is meticulous, with aging in 60hl oak casks on the lees without stirring for 18 months, resulting in remarkable structure and a rich texture. This precise care gives the wine a freshness and density that lend themselves to a wide range of food pairings.
