Domaine Philippe Gilbert Les Chandelieres Rouge AOC
Domaine Philippe Gilbert is one of the top producers in Menetou-Salon, a lesser-known AOC that borders Sancerre. While obscure in comparison to its neighbor, Menetou-Salon has great terroirs; Gilbert's fantastic wines – some of the region's very best – are proof.
The domaine is equally adept at producing both mineral, fine-boned whites (Sauvignon Blanc) and silky, noble reds (Pinot Noir), both of which impress even at the entry-level domaine bottlings
Grape Varietals & Region: 100% Pinot Noir, taken from 4 hectares of grape vines of Les Chandelières (commune of Menetou-Salon), facing due east, were planted half in pinot noir and half in sauvignon between 1975 and 1978, on clayey-limestone terroirs of the Kimmeridgian: the white lands.
Taste Profile: A deep & smooth Pinot Noir that has a softer tannin structure compare to the Clos des Treilles. Distinguished by its mature, velvety and deep character, with finesse and melted tannins
Winemaking Process: Maceration of the grapes with about 20% of whole bunches for three weeks. Aging in 600-liter barrels and in tanks for 18 months.
