Domaine Philippe Gilbert
This family domain in the Loire's Menetou-Salon dates to 1768. Music is everywhere at Domaine Philippe Gilbert. Philippe, a former playwright and artist, believes there's a strong harmony established between the wine and the winemaker before the vines even begin to bud.

Meet the Winemaker
Philippe has made wine for more than 20 years. Before returning to the family business, he was a playwright. Now he runs the estate making high-quality, handcrafted wines with a focus on environmental sustainability. To hear Philippe speak about his vineyard and wines is like poetry.
In the Vineyard & Cellar
Philippe puts all his efforts into the vineyard in order to reveal the full potential of Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir in the local terroir. Aging in large-format oak gives the wine time to rest, as well as a deeper complexity, structure and potential for aging. He’s a disciple of biodynamics and plays music in the cellar, his way of giving the wine “good vibrations."
