Menetou-Salon La Villaudière 2022

Menetou-Salon, situated to the north-east of Bourges, is a very old vineyard if we are to believe the old writings of the seigneury. It is thanks to a succession of donations, notably of vines made by the lords to various religious orders in the region, that the vineyard took shape. Following the phylloxera crisis at the end of the 19th century, the vineyards were re-established until the creation of the appellation of origin in 1959. Today, the vineyard covers 450 hectares of limestone and marl from the Kimmeridgian period, and offers all the characteristics needed to produce a typical, fresh and complex wine.

Tasting notes

The nose expresses intense and complex aromas of fresh grapes, exotic fruits and citrus. Round and tender, the palate reveals concentration and the liveliness is well present and melts into the fleshy material. Power, precision and persistence make this a very fine Menetou-Salon.

Food pairing

The wine pairing is not trivial. A successful marriage transforms the meal into a real moment of pleasure and conviviality. Served between 10 and 12 degrees, this dynamic and gourmet Menetou-Salon is best enjoyed in its youth as an aperitif, with poultry in sauce or, for example, with a salmon carpaccio.
