The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine A benchmark address in Menetou-Salon and awarded 1 star by the Guide RVF—a leading French wine publication—Domaine Pellé stands as one of the Loire Valley’s top names. Since 2008, Pierre-Henry Pellé has been at the helm, upholding the highest standards: biodynamic farming, meticulous aging, and a detailed, vineyard-by-vineyard approach all contribute to wines of impressive finesse and authenticity.

One of the estate’s greatest strengths lies in the consistency and cohesion across its range—delivering crisp, precise Whites and deep, age-worthy Reds that speak clearly of their terroir.
Wine Sourced from 50-year-old vines rooted in sandy, flinty soils, the 2023 Menetou-Salon Le Carroir White is a striking reflection of its terroir. Still youthful, it shows a touch of austerity that speaks to its serious structure and aging potential. The wine pulses with energy, offering subtle aromatics and a streamlined, focused palate that’s both refined and vibrant.
Vinification Hand harvested, fermented in wooden vats, barrels and stainless steel vats, aged on lees in casks, mainly in barrels and in stainless steel vats.

Certified organic wine.
