Saint Martin Tower. It was in 1988 that Betrand MONCHIN embarked on the wine adventure in Menetou Salon, where his grandfather was already producing wine before the war. The plots, well established on the heights of the village of Morogues, consist of 10 hectares of Sauvignon and 7 hectares of Pinot. For almost 30 years now, Bertrand MINCHIN has been making the most of this magnificent Kimmeridgian terroir. Everything is done in the vines to produce the finest grapes: plowing, composts, control of vegetative balance, control of yields and respect for the 'environment (area labeled High Environmental Value).
A large part of the vineyard is harvested manually, to vinify each plot separately. It is in a perfectly equipped cellar (sorting table, carpets, thermoregulated vats, wooden vats, pneumatic presses, etc.) that he vinifies his grapes in a little interventionist way. The red ones cook a long time, are slightly drawn and dewatered manually. Whites undergo long pressing and ferment at controlled temperature.

Grape variety: 100% Cabernet franc Soil: sandy loam
The vinification takes place on the basis of moderate temperatures (23°C.) and macerations which do not extend too long in time, so as to preserve the flattering aromas. It is a light, fruity and very aromatic wine which presents round and silky tannins. It is pleasant to taste from its earliest youth and offers subtle aromas of red fruits and spices on the nose and flavors of violets and liquorice on the palate. This wine is particularly seductive with charcuterie and river fish, as well as white meats.
