Bernard Fleuriet & Fils - Menetou-Salon blanc 2022

ORGANIC

Key words: Minerality / Fruits / Pleasure

The wine: This white Menetou-Salon from Domaine Fleuriet expresses all the beauty of the grape variety sauvignon: delicious peach, pear and citrus notes delight us and are accompanied by a suave floral touch (honeysuckle). A beautiful minerality also shines through, coupled with a substance that is both lively and round. An excellent cuvée which is sufficient in itself as an aperitif and which will go perfectly with seafood or fish, for a moment of pleasure and sharing.

The estate: Slocated in Menetou-Râtel, just next to Sancerre, the Domaine Fleuriet is managed by Bernard, the patriarch, and his sons Mathieu and Benoit. With great good-naturedness and an extraordinary sense of hospitality, the two brothers and their father produce magnificent wines in which the terroir expresses itself with great clarity. Covering 30 hectares (mainly in AOC Sancerre but also in AOC Menetou-Salon), Sauvignon reigns supreme here, accompanied by Pinot Noir for the reds and rosés. The estate has been certified in Organic Agriculture since 2016 and Demeter (biodynamic) since 2021. The vinification is done with the minimum possible intervention in order to let the terroir express itself (indigenous yeasts, minimal use of sulphur, etc.). The estate's range is varied and all the cuvées have their own identity. The only common point: the quality of the wines!
