The estate and the wine |
|
|
A benchmark estate in Menetou-Salon and awarded one star by La Revue du Vin de France—a leading French wine publication—Domaine Pellé is one of the Loire Valley’s standout names.
Since 2008, Pierre-Henry Pellé has brought a meticulous approach to every detail, from biodynamic farming to precise parcel selection and carefully managed aging. The result is a range of cuvées that reflect the unique character of their terroirs with remarkable clarity.
What sets the estate apart is the consistency across the board: crisp, precise Whites and deeply structured Reds built to age beautifully. |

|
| |
|
From a northeast-facing marl terroir planted in 1966, Les Blanchais is the estate’s first single-vineyard selection—an initiative dating back to the 1980s. The 2023 Menetou-Salon Les Blanchais White is a powerful, persistent Sauvignon Blanc built for aging. It offers a fresh, flavourful texture with vibrant citrus and subtle herbal notes. A precise expression of the grape that promises even greater complexity with time. |
