Minchin La Tour Saint Martin - Menetou-Salon Pommerais 2023
92/100
Decanter
"The definition of a pinot ligérien with a great gourmandise".
Tart and spicy red fruit notes intermingle to give juicy burlat cherry aromas on aeration. On the palate, the wine is delicious and fresh. Pommerais is the flagship wine of Domaines Minchin.

About the domain :
With 17 hectares, Bertrand Minchin, a jovial and engaging winegrower, is one of the established names in the Menetou-Salon and Valençay appellations. With each passing vintage, he refines the style of his reds, which are among the best in the area, while his imposing, structured whites gain in precision. Superb value for money.

About the domain :
An established name in the menetou-salon appellation with his Dom. la Tour Saint-Martin, Bertrand Minchin, equally at ease with reds and whites, has been established since 1987 at the head of 17 ha of vines on the heights of Morogues, in conversion to organic farming. In 2004, he expanded into the Valençay appellation with the 15 ha of Claux Delorme, in Selles-sur-Cher, and quickly established himself as a benchmark.

About the domain :
Bertrand Minchin is present in Morogues, a Menetou-Salon cru, with the domaine La Tour Saint Martin, and also in Valençay (Claux Delorme) - two operations grouped together within Domaines Minchin. The Valençays are joyful and upright: the Menetou-Salon cuvées are vinified with precision. The Sauvignons reflect the expression of their place thanks to a meticulous touch, as in the skilfully crafted reds. Since 2022, the estate has been certified Organic.
