"A Pinot from the Loire Valley with a rich, indulgent flavor"

Tart and spicy notes of red berries blend together to release juicy aromas of Burlat cherries as the wine breathes. On the palate, it offers rich, indulgent flavors and a lovely freshness. Pommerais is the flagship wine of Domaines Minchin.

Rated estate (2027 guide): 3*Stars (High-quality production that serves as a benchmark in its sector)

About the estate:

On his 17-hectare vineyard, Bertrand Minchin—a cheerful and engaging winemaker—continues to make progress. His estate in Menetou-Salon is now certified organic, and the one in Valencay is in the process of conversion. With each vintage, he refines the style of his reds, which are now among the best in the region, and his whites—often well-structured—have also gained in precision. The lineup offers superb value for the price.

Rated estate (2026 guide) Featured (Successful Wine)

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 as with whites—has been at the helm since 1987 of 17 hectares of vineyards on the hills above Morogues, which are 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.

Rated Estate (2027 Guide) Selected (Please note that this guide is a ranking, and as such, all the estates listed here—even those without a star—represent, in our view, the pinnacle of French winemaking.)

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. Since 2022, the estate has been certified “ Organic.”

Review by Mr. GILLES D. Published on April 23, 2024

Beautifully crafted, Pommerais plays the indulgence card, with a lovely aromatic expression of Pinot Noir in this warm 2022 vintage. Extremely refined, it unfurls a dense tapestry of crisp, fresh red fruit flavors, combined with a pinch of spice and enhanced by a hint of minerality. Complemented by the cocoa-like notes of silky tannins, it displays good savory depth on the finish. Highly drinkable, this Menetou-Salon paired perfectly with Salers beef short ribs braised in red wine, served with sautéed potatoes. Rating = 3.9.
