Description

Domaine Philippe Gilbert Clos de Treilles Rouge AOC 2020

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. This wine is made from grapes planted on Le Clos des Treilles, a slope on the Parassy commune facing south/southeast. The vineyard, planted in the early 1970s, extends over a sedimentary clayey-limestone soil of the Kimmeridgian, rich in siliceous limestone.

Taste Profile: The nose is spicy and fruity, with blackberry and cassis aromas. The palate is well-balanced, with a good acidity and a slightly astringent finish. The tannins are still present, but not overpowering. The fruit comes back in the end, with a hint of menthol. 

Winemaking Process: Half of the grapes are vinified whole. Aging lasts 22 months: 12 months in 400 and 600-liter barrels of a mixture of several vintages; 10 months in a tank.
