Menetou Salon blanc Domaine Assadet

A pale, shimmering straw colour introduces this Menetou‑Salon, its aromas rising with graceful clarity. The first impression is one of aromatic elegance: lychee, passion fruit, and ripe citrus unfold alongside delicate floral notes. On the palate, the wine is both rich and refined, offering a rounded texture lifted by a fine, lively freshness. Its balance between ripeness and tension reflects the clay‑limestone soils of Menetou‑Salon and the steady hand of a family estate passed down through generations, now tended by Alain and Véronique Assadet. Night‑time harvesting, cool fermentation, and ageing on fine lees in stainless steel preserve the purity and brightness of Sauvignon Blanc grown on these 11 hectares of sustainably farmed vineyards. Versatile and expressive, this wine pairs beautifully with raw or cooked vegetables, grilled or oily fish, court‑bouillon preparations, and cheese platters—especially the region’s emblematic Chavignol goat cheese. Served at 10–12°C, it reveals its full charm within two years.
