Bettane & Desseauve

"Citrus nose, slender and chiseled palate." (Le Guide Bettane & Desseauve des Vins de France 2016) With a bouquet typical of Sauvignon Blanc, a taut and pulpy palate, and a salty finish, this white Menetou-Salon is a beautiful expression of its terroir.

About the estate:

Owner Philippe Gilbert has been working with oenologist Jean-Philippe Louis since the estate's quality revival twelve years ago. It is thanks to him that the vineyard has been converted to biodynamic farming (Biodyvin label). The Renardières cuvées are made from the oldest Pinot Noir and Sauvignon vines. The whites have gained depth and a salty finish in recent vintages. After a period of heavy oak aging, the reds have gained finesse without losing their maturity, and are gradually becoming more precise.
