Menetou-Salon's benchmark producer—Domaine Pellé accounts for 25% of the entire appellation's production. Les Blanchais is a 2.7-hectare parcel planted in 1966 on Kimmeridgian marl (the same limestone found in Chablis and Chavignol) with 15-20% flint. Fourth-generation Paul-Henry Pellé converted to organic in 2007; everything is hand-harvested (rare here), indigenous-yeast fermented, aged 11-12 months. His grandfather Henry lobbied to put "Morogues" on the label because of its distinctive Kimmeridgian soils. This is Sauvignon Blanc with the minerality of great Chablis.

More about Pelle

Mature library treasure in cold tunnels. The Pelle estate in Santenay maintains cold underground tunnels housing decades of mature Burgundy. Their focus is age-worthiness and tradition—wines made to improve over time. Every bottle reflects the quiet confidence of a producer who knows that the best vindication is a wine that tastes better at thirty than it did at three.
