DOMAINE PELLE Morogues 2023 Menetou Salon 75cl White

€2650 EUR

Grape variety: Sauvignon Blanc

Terroir: 25-year-old vines on average, planted across 12 hectares of Kimmeridgian marl. Seven parcels with varied exposures, from east to west via the south, located on the highest slopes of the Morogues appellation.

Vinification / Ageing: Direct pressing on arrival at the winery; settling of the must; fermentation in stainless steel tanks; ageing on lees primarily in stainless steel, with some in wooden vats and barrels. Natural fermentation with indigenous yeasts.

Tasting notes: A discreet, pure nose that opens with aromas of white flowers and citrus. The palate is refined and crystalline, with length and energy; beginning on citrus notes, finishing with saline and mineral tension. Nothing exuberant here, just clarity and precision.

🍷 Serve at 10–11°C

Paul-Henry Pellé was born in 1985 and grew up in Morogues, just like his great-grandfather, grandfather, and father before him. True to his family heritage, he too chose the path of the vine.

He trained at the Beaune Wine School, and completed internships with Olivier Lamy in Saint-Aubin and Benjamin Leroux at Clos des Epeneaux. Working alongside Olivier Lamy, he learned to respect the identity of each terroir and to carefully select the right vessels in the cellar. With Benjamin Leroux, he deepened his understanding of soil management; essential for preserving the health of the vines.

His first vintages at Domaine Pellé were in 2006 and 2007, crafted under the experienced eye of Julien Zernott, who had overseen vinifications since 1995. In 2007, at just 22 years old, Paul-Henry took over both the vineyard and the cellar. After three generations who founded, built, and grew the estate, he brought a new energy; one focused on finesse and consistency.

Since his arrival, changes in both vineyard and cellar practices have allowed for wines of ever-greater precision. Each cuvée faithfully reflects its terroir and vintage. His ambition: a pure and honest expression of place.
