About Philippe Gilbert
The history that surrounds the Domaine Philippe Gilbert, located in the central French hamlet of Faucards, extends to the reign of Louis XV, when François Gilbert took over the vines of his father in law in 1768, and stretches through nine generations to the current vigneron, Philippe.
From 4 ha of southeast-facing vines in the Chandelières lieu-dit in the commune of Menetou-Salon, the Chandelières offering from Philippe Gilbert is captivating in its elegance, grace, and balance. This wine shines in its crystal-clear rendition of this parcel’s kimmeridgian limestone. 12 months ageing in 600-l neutral demi-muids followed by 8-10 months in concrete vats.
