- Fresh mineral notes and delicate floral highlights complement the rich aromas of grapefruit and citrus. Fresh and fruity on the palate, it is beautifully balanced with layered notes of minerality and delicate hints of truffle that develop with age. 2022: a vintage beyond expectations—both rich and balanced. The summer was marked by a succession of heat waves, which resulted in healthy, disease-free vines. This also ensured good volumes, a relief after the historically low volumes in 2021. Despite a little pressure on the second day of harvesting with a violent hailstorm, the 2022 harvest produced good quality, healthy fruit with beautiful colour extraction and perfect balancing acidity.
The grapes were harvested at optimal maturity and gently crushed with a pneumatic press. Fermentation took place with selected yeasts in temperature-controlled tanks at low temperatures to preserve the purity of fruit and aromatics of the Sauvignon Blanc grape. The wine was aged on its fine lees in stainless steel vats, with 5% aged in oak barrels for a period of six months, imparting subtle oak complexity.
Fresh mineral notes and delicate floral highlights complement the rich aromas of grapefruit and citrus. Fresh and fruity on the palate, it is beautifully balanced with layered notes of minerality and delicate hints of truffle, which develop with age.

| Winery | The grapes come from a single vineyard planted around Morogues in the appellation of Menetou-Salon, situated in the eastern part of the Loire Valley. The terroir is characterised by clay, limestone, and flinty soils that impart distinctive mineral notes to the wine. The northern, cool climate influences the region, resulting in lively wines from grapes with high acidity levels. Domaine Minchin is certified by Haute Valeur Environmental, and the vineyards are managed according to a strict sustainable philosophy known as la Lutte Raisonnee. The vineyard is planted with grass, and the soil is tilled and worked to ensure the health and vigour of the vine while encouraging beneficial biodiversity. Debudding takes place in spring, and careful canopy management is performed in summer, including thinning, which enables the grapes to reach optimal ripeness and concentrates the flavours in the berries. |
