Domaine Jean-Paul Picard Menetou-Salon
A vibrant White wine with exotic fruit and zesty citrus notes, offering a finely textured palate
Domaine Jean-Paul Picard Menetou-Salon Menetou-Salon AOC, Loire, France, offers a vibrant, dry White wine crafted from 100% hand-harvested Sauvignon Blanc grapes. The Picard family, with a heritage since 1750, practices 'lutte raisonnée' and uses indigenous yeasts, with the wine resting on its fine lees for 3-4 months. This meticulous approach yields an expressive nose of exotic fruit and intense zesty citrus aromas, leading to a vibrant, finely textured palate. It pairs beautifully with seafood, fish, or young, soft cheese, and is also an excellent aperitif. Vegan and vegetarian.
