(2012 Vintage Notes)

The quintessential wine for enjoyment, 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!

Rated Estate (2016 Guide) Selected (Please note that this guide is a ranking, and as such, all the estates listed here—even those without a star—represent, in our view, the pinnacle of French winemaking.)

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 wines 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.
