What is this wine?
Remoortere’s Menetou-Salon Pinot Noir 2023 is a fresh, elegant red from the eastern Loire Valley, near Sancerre. The Remoortere family farms sustainably on Kimmeridgian limestone and clay soils—similar to those of Chablis and Sancerre—bringing natural lift and minerality to their wines. Made entirely from Pinot Noir, the wine is fermented in stainless steel and aged briefly in tank and neutral oak, preserving purity and aromatic finesse.
Why get this wine?
This is Loire Pinot at its most charming: fragrant, silky, and wonderfully food-friendly. Menetou-Salon often flies under the radar, offering Burgundy-like delicacy at a fraction of the price. The 2023 vintage delivers vivid fruit and balance, making this wine an ideal choice for lovers of elegant, cool-climate reds.
What does this wine taste like?
Aromas of red cherry, raspberry, and rose petal lead to a lively palate with bright fruit, fine tannins, and a hint of earth and spice. The finish is crisp, mineral, and refined.
When should you drink this wine?
Enjoy now through 2028 for its freshness and verve. Serve slightly cool (around 55°F). Excellent with charcuterie, roast chicken, or salmon.
