Domaines Minchin - La Tour Saint-Martin 'Célestin' Menetou-Salon 2015 Review
A varietal Pinot Noir from just west of Sancerre, this plummy, juicy wine has more grip and structure than initially expected. Tart red berries dominate along with sweet tobacco, milk chocolate, and damp earth, creating a fresh red that is both hearty and humble.
