MENETOU SALON DPO BLANC DOMAINE PICARD

17,50 € incl. VAT

Winegrowers for several generations (since 1750), the Jean-Paul Picard et Fils estate passionately cultivates its 14 hectares of vines, all located on the Bué hillsides, which are among the best in the Sancerre region.

Having learnt the lessons of the past, they have adapted modern techniques while retaining manual harvesting and traditional know-how.

Since Mickael joined the domaine in 2004, the estate has also been growing vines in the Menetou-Salon appellation to produce white and red wines.
