List of products by brand Domaine Pellé
Located in Morogues, at the eastern tip of the Loire Valley, Domaine Pellé is a fourth-generation family estate, now brilliantly led by Paul Pellé. This 40-hectare estate is the guardian of an exceptional terroir: Kimmeridgian marls. A specialist in Menetou-Salon with plots in Sancerre, the estate stands out for its rigorous plot-by-plot approach, isolating each "climat" to express its uniqueness. Domaine Pellé's wines are renowned for their crystalline purity, mineral tension, and profound elegance, both in their Sauvignon Blancs and Pinot Noirs. An elite signature for discovering the nobility of Center-Loire wines.
The Goldsmith of Menetou-Salon
Domaine Pellé has raised the Menetou-Salon appellation to a level of global excellence, proving that its white marl soils (the same found in Chablis) can produce wines of immense complexity.
The pillars of Pellé's expertise:
-
Precision Viticulture: The estate works its soils with great care (plowing, grass cover) to force the roots to dive deep into the limestone. Vine health is paramount to achieving such brilliant fruit purity.
-
Plot-by-Plot Vinification: Paul Pellé vinifies legendary "lieux-dits" such as "Les Bornés," "Le Carroir," or "Vignes de Ratier" separately. This precise reading of the landscape offers a diversity of profiles ranging from saline tension to indulgent roundness.
-
Subtle Aging: The use of stainless steel tanks for freshness is complemented by aging in large oak foudres or concrete eggs for the plot-specific cuvées, adding volume and texture without ever over-oaking the wine.
