Wine runs in the veins of the Reverdy family. For four generations, the family has been inspired by the same values: a hereditary attachment to the Loire Valley, an instinctive passion for the terroirs and an innate respect for people and work. Passion, integrity and accuracy are the key words that drive the members of the estate. Today, Jean-Marie Reverdy, guided by his vocation, makes the estate prosper with his wife Catherine and his two sons, Guillaume and Baptiste. The cellars are located in the middle of the vineyards. This unique situation offers a breathtaking view of the famous Sancerre hill and its vineyards. The Centre Loire is a tourist region renowned for its wines and appreciated for its attractive landscapes.

Terroir

Menetou-Salon, situated to the north-east of Bourges, is a very old vineyard if we are to believe the old writings of the seigneury. It is thanks to a succession of donations, notably of vines made by the lords to various religious orders in the region, that the vineyard took shape. Following the phylloxera crisis at the end of the 19th century, the vineyards were re-established until the creation of the appellation of origin in 1959. Today, the vineyard covers 450 hectares of limestone and marl from the Kimmeridgian period, and offers all the characteristics needed to produce a typical, fresh and complex wine.

Winemaking

After a settling of 12 to 24 hours, the fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled tanks at 15-20°C. Then, a first tasting is carried out to discover the particularities of the vintage. After a rigorous selection of the wines, the blending, clarification, stabilisation and bottling operations are carried out at the Domaine.

Tasting notes

The nose expresses intense and complex aromas of fresh grapes, exotic fruits and citrus. Round and tender, the palate reveals concentration and the liveliness is well present and melts into the fleshy material. Power, precision and persistence make this a very fine Menetou-Salon.

Food pairing

The wine pairing is not trivial. A successful marriage transforms the meal into a real moment of pleasure and conviviality. Served between 10 and 12 degrees, this dynamic and gourmet Menetou-Salon is best enjoyed in its youth as an aperitif, with poultry in sauce or, for example, with a salmon carpaccio.
