Rouge
AOP Menetou Salon

The colour is cherry almost pinkish slightly dark. Wine elaborate from the grape variety of Pinot Noir that is very popular in the region. Its shimmering color gives aromas of summer fruits, cherries, blackcurrant, liquorice. The taste is very fruity, and also a taste that honors the light and fruity Pinot Noir grasping the sandy soil of limestone.
