The Menetou-Salon Rouge 'Expression' from Domaine Jean Teiller.
Specifications
| Appellation | Menetou-Salon |
| ABV | 14.5% |
| Vinification | Rigorous sorting, separation of the grapes from the stalks. Cold pre-fermentation maceration for 4-6 days. Pumping over, several punch downs, and delestage (gentle extraction of phenolic compounds by oxygenating the juice). Alcoholic fermentation using indigenous yeasts and maceration for 15-20 days. Devatting without pumping. Malolactic fermentation without seeding. |
| Élevage | 6 months minimum (95% tank, 5% barrel) in order to preserve the finesse and aromas of the Pinot Noir. Bottles on premise. |
| Vineyard Soil | Deep soil of clay-limestone |
| Harvest | Manually done at the end of September/early October |
| Tasting Notes | Brilliant, cherry-red color. The bouquet is rich with juicy, berry notes like strawberry, blackberry, and morello cherry, complemented by a subtle spice. On the palate, it is supple and fleshy with notes of cassis and red fruits. Well-balanced structure, refined tannins, and good persistence. |
| Food Pairings | Roasted or grilled meats, richer fish, and aged cheeses. |
| Serving Temp | 16°C |
| Cellaring | 3-5 years |
