Domaine Durand Menetou-Salon, Loire, France 2022 Villa Creek Cellars and the finish is long

and the finish is long and rich in wild herbs and spices

all accompanied by porcini mushrooms or rosé des prés or even with a duck breast with figs

but it looks to fall short of the quality heights reached by some other recent vintages

Fresh cherries balanced with toast and vanilla from aging in American oak mixed with notes of strawberry jam in nice balance with reminiscence of rosemary

Domaine Durand Menetou-Salon, Loire, France 2022 Villa Creek Cellars and the finish is longThe 2022 Menetou Salon Blanc is slightly more reticent, with white flowers, stone fruits, orange blossom, and chalky minerality in its medium bodied, nicely balanced, textured, layered style. Like the Sancerre Blanc, it's racy and vibrant while bringing beautiful texture and richness. 91 Pts Jeb Dunnuck
