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

Founded in 2019, we were bored with the typical Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Chardonnay, Amarone & Moscato offerings at most bars & restaurants, and were inspired to dive deeper into the wine world!
