2025 Philippe Gilbert Menetou-Salon Rosé

Philippe Gilbert's rosé from the Menetou-Salon appellation is produced solely from Pinot Noir grown in Parassy. The vines are rooted in classic clay and limestone soils of the kimmeridgian basin that extends through Sancerre, Pouilly-sur-Loire to Chablis and Champagne. This rare rosé is pressed directly and fermented spontaneously, spending six months in steel with unimpeded natural malolactic fermentation. The microclimate features warm days and cool nights that permit proper sugar development while maintaining excellent acid balance, resulting in intensely mineral wines with formidable persistence on the palate.
