Menetou-Salon Blanc, “Clos de Treilles”
SKU GBTB
One of Philippe’s most prized parcels, Clos des Treilles is a south-facing vineyard of quartz-riddled Kimmeridgian limestone, planted to both Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir by his father in the early 1970s using selection massale. Fermented and aged in well-used 600-liter barrels for 18 months, the Clos des Treilles Blanc is notably smoky, intensely chalky, and sizzling in its driving intensity—a Kimmeridgian exemplar through and through.
About Philippe Gilbert
The history that surrounds the Domaine Philippe Gilbert, located in the central French hamlet of Faucards, extends to the reign of Louis XV, when François Gilbert took over the vines of his father in law in 1768, and stretches through nine generations to the current vigneron, Philippe.
