Everything You Need to Know About Domaine Minchin
Located in Morogues, in the heart of the Menetou-Salon appellation, the La Tour Saint-Martin estate is the brainchild of Bertrand Minchin, who embarked on his winemaking journey in 1988, following in the footsteps of his grandfather, who had already been growing grapes on this land.
The vineyard now spans 17 hectares, planted primarily with Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir, on the clay-limestone slopes and Kimmeridgian marl soils of Morogues. Here, work in the vineyard is at the heart of the estate’s philosophy: plowing, adding compost, controlling yields, and balancing vegetation growth all help to best reveal the identity of each plot.
Committed for many years to environmentally friendly viticulture, the estate is now certified organic. The winemaking process—precise and minimally interventionist—emphasizes the expression of the terroir and produces elegant, fresh, and particularly refined Menetou-Salon wines.
A name that has become a staple of the Centre-Loire region, regularly praised for the precision and consistency of its wines.
