Loire Valley Château de Maupas

Our committee's review

Rising above the village of Morogues, Château de Maupas stands as a testament to history and winemaking tradition. Just outside Sancerre, this stunning estate is cradled by nature and has been lovingly cared for by the de Maupas family for over 300 years.

A true benchmark of Menetou-Salon, the estate brings out the full potential of its vineyards, crafting wines that rival those of its prestigious neighbor. Bordering the easternmost edge of Sancerre’s appellation, Morogues benefits from the same rolling hills and limestone soils, producing some of the region’s most outstanding wines.

Enjoy this estate, which practices organic viticulture, and explore this refreshing appellation. A fantastic opportunity at this price point and a strong alternative to Sancerre.

The 2023 White Menetou-Salon is a beautifully crafted white wine, with no oak aging, allowing its fresh, pure fruit aromas to shine through. Bright notes of citrus zest, lime, and delicate floral hints create a classic yet refined aromatic profile. On the palate, its crisp, lively character is immediately appealing, with a mouthwatering freshness that makes it a perfect match for seafood, marinated fish, or fried dishes. A highly approachable and delicious bottle.

A Menetou-Salon for under €15—an excellent alternative to the Loire Valley classics.
