Description

Domaine Philippe Gilbert L'emoustillant Rosé 2022

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 Menetou-Salon, from fruit grown on clay & limestone soils

Taste Profile: Philippe Gilbert's highly addictive Pet Nat made from 100% Pinot Noir. Elegant, light bubbles with the scent of juicy wild strawberries and a lovely dry and mouth-wateringly clean aftertaste. Made without the addition of sulphur.

Winemaking Process: Natural sparkling rosé that has not been disgorged

Berries & Cream Sparklings

Red fruit and bubbles, ranging from light and fruity pink Moscato, to vintage rosé Champagne and sparkling Shiraz

Ancestral Method

Also known as Petillant Naturel, it's the oldest version of sparkling wine making, and involves bottling the wine before fermentation has finished. A single fermentation is applied, trapping carbon dioxide to create natural carbonation.
This results in a little less control, and wines can sometimes come across a less refined compare to the traditional champagne method, and sometimes tends to have a slightly more beer-ish or cider-ish taste
