This Fumet cuvée is produced by Domaines Minchin, in the heart of the Menetou-Salon terroir, from Sauvignon Blanc grapes grown on the slopes of Morogues. The grapes are carefully harvested to preserve their full freshness and precision, followed by a winemaking process designed to respect the terroir’s expression.
Fumet thus exemplifies the style of Domaines Minchin: precise, balanced wines that are deeply rooted in their terroir.

Minchin Estates
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.
