White wines from Menetou-Salon (Central Loire Valley) are produced exclusively from Sauvignon Blanc. These crisp and acidic dry wines are often compared to Sancerre, a neighboring appellation known for their Sauvignon Blanc wines. Menetou-Salon wines are aromatic, delicate, and fruity with typical aromas of citrus fruit, white flowers, orange blossom, peach, quince, apples, honey, and spices.
These wines are best paired with chicken, fish, pâtés, terrines, or cheese. They can also work well as an aperitif or a great accompaniment to creamy sauces. The official appellation of Menetou-Salon also includes red and rosé wines made from Pinot Noir.
