Menetou-Salon Rouge has a scent that fully opens up in a gourmet manner with notes of jammy red fruits like blueberry, strawberry, blackberry and raspberry. Followed by warm notes of tonka bean and cocoa that are the result of this sunny vintage. On the palate, the wine starts smoothly, it is soft and fresh due to its quite present and structured tannins. Soft cocoa notes remain on the palate in its long finish.
Halfway between the Dijon/Tours line lie several famous Loire regions known for their white wines made from the sauvignon blanc grape. Sancerre, but certainly also Pouilly-Fumé, enjoy a huge reputation. However, in the immediate vicinity of both are places where excellent wines are made at often more favorable prices. Reuilly and Menetou-Salon are two examples. The appellation of Menetou-Salon is known for its dry and edgy white wines and its fruity and silky reds
Reuilly is already one of those villages where you have to brake in time, otherwise you are already through. Menetou-Salon is, if possible, even smaller. Joseph & Marie de Maistre run their wine estate Le Prieuré de Saint-Céols in the hamlet of Saint-Céols. They have 13 hectares, two-thirds of which are planted with sauvignon-blanc and the remainder with pinot-noir grapes. They are currently Terra Vitis certified, but have been working organically for some years the certification is expected with the 2022 harvest.
