Vinification of Menetou-Salon AOP by Moulin des Vrillères The grapes for this exemplary wine grow on calcareous, sparse soils located in the heart of the Menetou-Salon terroirs. The plots are carefully maintained to achieve an optimal balance between ripeness and freshness. The cultivation follows traditional methods that allow the grapes to unfold naturally. The harvest time is carefully selected. Harvesting is done exclusively by hand to select only the healthiest and best berries. After harvest, the grapes are immediately transferred to the winery, where gentle pressing occurs to preserve the fine aromas. The fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, emphasizing the fruit's preservation. During fermentation, regular batonage is performed to smooth the texture and promote delicate creaminess. The wine then matures on fine lees for several months. This aging process intensifies the structure and fosters a fine mineral character. Bottling occurs only after full maturation to preserve its freshness and complexity for a long time. This results in a wine that captivates with its harmonious balance and pure elegance.
