What to do there

"Menetou-Salon's 500 hectares rival Sancerre's crisp Sauvignon Blanc & light Pinot Noir but cost 30% less—same Kimmeridgian limestone, same Loire valley spirit, now a rising international competitor since 1985 AOC status."

    Menetou-Salon: Sancerre's Secret Sibling

    Just west of Sancerre, Menetou-Salon offers the same limestone terroir and grape varieties but with even less fame - and lower prices. About 160 hectares of Pinot Noir produce pale, elegant reds that sommeliers prize as the Loire's best-value Pinot secret.
