Owner and history

Today managed by Philippe Gilbert, the estate is the fruit of a passionate family legacy.

His commitment to quality is evident at every stage, from vine to bottle, making each wine a true work of art.

Vinification and aging

The vinification of Les Chandelières 2019 is carried out with meticulous care. After hand-harvesting the grapes, they are destemmed and gently crushed. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, preserving the fruity aromas of the Sauvignon Blanc. Aging on fine lees for a few months adds complexity and texture to the wine. This painstaking process, combined with proven expertise, results in a Menetou-Salon that is both fresh and elegant.
