Les 35 Rangs originates from a prized 1.22-hectare vineyard planted in the mid-1960s by Paul Gilbert in the *lieu-dit* of Champaloin, in Vignoux-sous-les-Aix. The iron-rich Kimmeridgian soils lend this Pinot Noir extraordinary elegance, freshness, and depth. Following a maceration period of approximately 20 days, the wine ages for 18 months in a combination of barrels and tanks, developing a refined, vertical profile of great precision. On the palate, it is juicy, savory, and persistent, with a fine texture that makes it the estate's airiest Pinot Noir and an excellent choice for cellaring.

The Menetou-Salon Rouge by Domaine Gilbert 2020 is certainly a fascinating wine that highlights the distinctive characteristics of Pinot Noir. The freshness and intense aroma of small red fruits make it very inviting, while the balsamic and aromatic herb notes add complexity and depth to the bouquet. The minerality, typical of Kimmeridgian soils, gives an elegance that enriches the tasting experience. The idea of pairing it with a piece of dark chocolate is particularly interesting, as the contrast between the fruity notes and the chocolate can create a very pleasant tasting experience. It is a great example of how a wine can be versatile and surprising.
