Although Menetou-Salon is often considered Sancerre's \"little sister,\" Paul-Henry Pellé has shown that, thanks to meticulous work in the vineyard and a deep understanding of the soils, this territory can produce wines of equal, if not superior, complexity. The strength of the domaine lies in its soils composed of \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"5\" data-index-in-node=\"434\"\u003eKimmeridgian marl\u003c\/b\u003e (the same soil as Chablis), which give the wines a unique depth and minerality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"6\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eThe Style: Crystalline Purity and Terroir Identity\u003c\/b\u003e Domaine Pellé wines are famous for their surgical precision. Paul-Henry is a proponent of single-parcel vinification, an approach that allows the enhancement of the different nuances of his vineyards. The whites (Sauvignon Blanc) are taut, vibrant, and deeply saline, while the reds (Pinot Noir) stand out for their crisp fruit and aromatic finesse reminiscent of great Burgundy wines. Each bottle reveals a perfect balance between fruit maturity and acidic tension.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eRespectful Viticulture\u003c\/b\u003e The domaine is managed according to the principles of organic farming (currently undergoing certification or rigorously practiced). No herbicides or synthetic chemicals are used, prioritizing mechanical soil work and the health of biodiversity.

The \"Les Cris\" parcel is distinguished by its poor, stony soil, composed of Kimmeridgian marl, which forces the vines to push their roots deep. In the 2022 vintage, this terroir delivered a wine that combines juicy ripeness with an impressive mineral backbone.

The grapes are hand-harvested and carefully selected. Winemaking involves a portion of whole cluster to enhance aromatic complexity and freshness. Fermentation takes place with indigenous yeasts, followed by aging for approximately 12-15 months in large French oak foudres and a small part in used barriques. This process preserves the purity of the fruit and the saline imprint of the Kimmeridgian soil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003eFood Pairings\u003c\/b\u003e This Pinot Noir of great character pairs magnificently with premium red meats, such as beef fillet with marrow or herb-crusted rack of lamb.
