Gerard Millet 2022 Menetou-Salon

The Wine

Sometimes referred to as "the thrify version of Sancerre", Menetou-Salon is an appellation for lovers of Sauvignon Blanc who have fallen out of love with Sancerres ever-higher price tags! Same grape, similar soil types. Great value here.

The wine introduces itself with aromas of lemon zest, kaffir lime, wet rock and nectarine supported by the heady perfume of white flowers. The palate brims with ripe citrus and stone fruits framed by sleek and mouthwatering crispness.

Pairing suggestions: pork, seafood, spicy food and the classic match-up, goat cheese!

The Winery

The Millet family has been making wine for over five generations, with the sixth generation lining up to take over in the coming years. The Domaine is now run by Gérard and Isabelle, with their son, Steve, waiting in the wings. The estate covers a total of 58 Acres of vineyard, of which 46 are in the Sancerre appellation and 12 in Menetou-Salon.

This family-owned winery has recently invested in new heat exchange equipment to ensure that the grapes and must are cooled to obtain maximum freshness in the wine. Their wines are fresh, pure and show great typicity.
