Dom. Les Chezeaux Menetou-Salon Blanc '22

This exquisite Sauvignon Blanc from the Loire Valley's Menetou-Salon appellation shimmers with a pale straw hue and silver reflections. The nose bursts with vibrant aromas of grapefruit zest, freshly cut grass, and a distinctive flinty minerality that speaks to its Kimmeridgian limestone terroir. On the palate, the wine displays remarkable precision - flavors of green apple, passion fruit, and wet stone unfold across a framework of bracing acidity, creating a beautifully balanced profile. Whole-cluster pressed and fermented in stainless steel to preserve its crystalline purity, this wine earned 92 points for its textbook expression of Loire Sauvignon Blanc. The lengthy, mineral-driven finish makes it an ideal companion for oysters on the half shell or goat cheese salads.
