Minchin La Tour Saint-Martin - Menetou-Salon Morogues 2023
90/100
Bettane & Desseauve
“A wonderful interpretation of the limestone terroir of Menetou-Salon”
Morogues Blanc, one of the wines that embodies the essence of Domaine de la Tour Saint Martin. The typical aromas of Sauvignon Blanc are evident on the first sniff, accompanied by hints of the sea. The palate is full-bodied, with lovely bitter notes emerging from a rich, voluminous structure. It has a distinct, refreshing acidity.

Rated 3 stars (A high-quality product that serves as a benchmark in its sector)
About the estate:
With 17 hectares, Bertrand Minchin—a cheerful and engaging winemaker—is a standout producer in the Menetou-Salon and Valençay appellations. With each vintage, he refines the style of his reds, which rank among the best in the region, while his full-bodied, structured whites continue to gain in precision. Excellent value for money.

About the estate:
A trusted name in the Menetou-Salon appellation with his Dom. la Tour Saint-Martin, Bertrand Minchin—equally at home with reds and whites—has been at the helm of 17 hectares of vineyards on the hills above Morogues since 1987, currently in the process of converting to organic farming. In 2004, he expanded into the Valençay appellation with the 15 hectares of Claux Delorme in Selles-sur-Cher, where he quickly established himself as a leading producer.

About the estate:
Bertrand Minchin is based in Morogues, a Menetou-Salon appellation, with the La Tour Saint Martin estate, and also in Valençay (Claux Delorme)—two estates that together form Domaines Minchin. The Valençay wines are lively and straightforward; the Menetou-Salon vintages are vinified with precision. The Sauvignons reflect the character of their terroir thanks to meticulous craftsmanship, as do the skillfully crafted reds. The estate has been certified Organic since 2022.
