The quintessential indulgent wine, the red Menetou-Salon offers aromas of fresh red fruits: strawberry, raspberry, and cherry. On the palate, it is fresh and light, with well-balanced acidity and round tannins. A generous Pinot with a mouthwatering finish!

About the estate:
Owner Philippe Gilbert has relied on the guidance of winemaker Jean-Philippe Louis since the estate’s quality revival twelve years ago. It is largely thanks to him that the vineyard was converted to biodynamic farming (Biodyvin certification). The Renardières cuvées are made from the oldest Pinot Noir and Sauvignon Blanc vines. The whites have gained depth and a mineral-driven finish in recent vintages. After a period of pronounced oak influence, the reds have developed finesse without losing their ripeness, and are gradually gaining in precision.

Review and comment by Mr. CLAUDE S. Posted on 12/30/2015
Fruity, but very light and short on the palate. Lacks depth and character.

Review by Mr. JEAN MARIE G. Published on 12/17/2015
It doesn't smell anything like a Menetou at all—no fruit at all—and it's not as good as the €10 ones from the big-box stores. You're better off going to Millet or Pellé; I'd like a refund.
