The quintessential easy-drinking wine, Menetou-Salon red 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 mouth-watering finish!

About the estate:
Owner Philippe Gilbert has relied on the guidance of oenologist 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 maturity, and are gradually gaining in precision.

Fruity but very light and short on the palate. Lacks depth and character.

Review by Mr. JEAN MARIE G. Posted on 12/17/2015
It doesn't smell anything like a Menetou at all—no fruitiness—and it's not as good as the €10 bottles you find at the supermarket. You're better off going to Millet or Pellé; I'd like a refund.
