Domaine Pellé
Domaine Pellé is located around the village of Morogues, at the eastern end of the Loire Valley, which, with its beautiful church, meadows and hillsides, is home to the cellars of . Winegrowers for generations, the Pellés have been producing wines in the Menetou-Salon appellation since its creation in 1959. The histories of the appellation and Domaine Pellé are intertwined, and side by side they will make their debut and reach their majority and notoriety.

The Domaine Pellé vineyards are planted on clay-limestone marls of the Kimmeridgian type of the Loire, also known as "oreille de poule" or white earth. The vines are cultivated using sustainable methods, with tillage and green harvesting to express the terroir and control yields. Managed by Anne Pellé and her son, Paul-Henry, Domaine Pellé has become a leader and the first ambassador for the Menetou-Salon appellation, the pride of the Berry region, converted to organic farming in 2020.

"A bottle that's just waiting to age, simply superb!"

"Les Blanchais 2022 is a finely textured, precise and concentrated style. It is distinguished by its texture and aromatic restraint with aromas of fennel, citrus and oats. The 2022 offers excellent balance and ripe acidity with line and length. It has a high level of concentration and innate power at its core. Lots of chalky intensity coats the palate." (Vinous A. Galloni 2024)

"Pure expression of terroir, no exuberance, just clarity and precision".

"A few years of ageing will allow it to reveal its full potential.

"Carroir 2022 is a rare, north-east-facing flint parcel aged for 12 months in large wooden vats. Indeed, its nose is sober and flint-like. The fruit is ripe and open, giving a style that caresses the mid-palate without any edge. The flint provides a tight, structured framework on the finish, but remains relatively soft on the acidity front." (Vinous A. Galloni 2024)

"A precise, suave Pinot where finesse and elegance predominate".

Made from a blend of 4 parcels, Morogues rouge brings out the full typicity of the soils found in the area: a combination of Kimmeridgian marl, flint and hard limestone. The Pinot Noir expresses fruitiness and freshness, supported by a light tannic structure.

"An incisive, uncluttered style for a cuvée de garde".

The appellation's unique terroir of sand and flint, planted by Henry Pellé in 1976, gives the wine a lively, austere structure. Carroir rouge 2019 has a peppery nose, with notes of black fruit. It is a refined, sober and powerful wine, with well-presented tannins.
