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.
