Joseph Mellot Menetou-Salon le Clos du Pressoir Blanc – 2023 (750ml)

Description

As recorded in written documents,Menetou-Salonvineyard dates back to antiquity. In the Middle Ages, the lords made numerous donations to various religious orders present in the region, in particular to the famous Abbey of Saint Sulpice-Ls-Bourges. But, above all, it was Jacques Cur, King Charles VIIs Treasurer, who gave a significant boost to the wines of this appellation. Under the spell of the vineyard and its wines, he brought them to the Kings table where the greatest Lords of that time greatly enjoyed them.

“With a lively, zippy edge to its green plum, gooseberry, verbena, fresh-cut grass and chive notes, this is silky in feel, offering a tug of chalky tannins on the well-meshed finish. Refreshing and salty, with good purity. Drink now through 2028.” – Wine Spectator
