Vinification of Blanc Menetou-Salon AOP by Antoine de la Farge The foundation of this exceptional white wine is carefully selected Sauvignon Blanc grapes that thrive on calcareous soils in the Menetou-Salon region. The cool climate, along with the perfect balance of sunshine and rainfall, promotes slow ripening, preserving the complex aromas and crisp acidity. Harvesting is done by hand to ensure the grapes are undamaged and at optimal ripeness. The berries are then gently pressed to avoid unwanted bitterness and to secure the pure fruit structure. The vinification takes place at controlled temperatures in stainless steel tanks to preserve the fresh fruit aromas and mineral crispness as much as possible. During aging, a long and slow fermentation is employed, giving the wine time to fully develop its aromatic complexity. The wine is partly aged on the fine lees, which adds volume and creamy nuances. This gentle treatment results in an elegant, harmonious overall impression that emphasizes the origin and uniqueness of this Menetou-Salon.
