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 50-year-old vines rooted in sandy, flinty soils, the 2022 Menetou-Salon Le Carroir Red is a bold tribute to Pinot Noir. Aged in 400- and 500-liter barrels, it combines generous depth with the sharp, smoky edge typical of flint-rich terroirs. This plush yet slightly austere wine reveals a distinctive mineral tension and a smoky nuance that speaks clearly of its origin—an expressive and thoughtfully crafted red with serious character. |
