Description

Domaine Philippe Gilbert Les 35 Rangs Rouge AOC 2019

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 from an old parcel that is part of the Champaloin vineyard (commune of Vignoux-sous-les-Aix) planted in the mid-1960s. The vineyard has iron laced Kimmeridgian soils

Taste Profile: Notes of savoury spices that complement its ripe, tangy cherry fruit. It offers surprising dept for a Pinot Noir from the Loire, with rippling energy that speaks of ultra-healthy fruit

Winemaking Process: Maceration for about 20 days with about 40% whole cluster. The wine has been aged for 18 months in barrels and tanks.

Elegant & Structured Reds

From Barolo to Bordeaux, these wines are steeped in tradition. The style covers a broad spectrum of flavor profiles, but tend to be elegant and structured and can be cellared for a long time.

These wines often have savoury tones of earth, bell pepper, tobacco, cassis, and are often medium to full bodied, with long finish & structured palattes
