Located in the Upper Loire’s continental zone in the Cher River department, Menetou-Salon provides some superb wines from Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir, although in the shadow of nearby Sancerre. Kimmeridgian marl provides excellent drainage and it is Sauvignon Blanc that shines here so brightly!
Medium gold in color, and with a nose of medium intensity, she reveals aromas of rye grass, white nectarine, golden raspberry, Meyer lemon, juniper and spearmint. This a a dry wine with medium-plus acidity, medium body, and a rich flavor intensity and medium-plus finish that carries with a harmonious and mouth-watering balance of acid, fruit and lovely savory nuances. Drink now! Very good, 9.3/10
