Pelle is famous for Menetou-Salon, which is exactly why the Sancerre is a bit of a secret: the family owns only about four hectares there and has never made much noise about it. The vines sit in the village of Montigny on caillottes, the pebbly clay-limestone that gives Sancerre its cut, facing southeast for morning sun. Paul-Henry Pelle is the fourth generation here; he sharpened his training at Hubert Lamy in Saint-Aubin and converted the estate to organic farming nearly two decades ago. Fermentation runs on indigenous yeasts and the wine is raised mostly in stainless steel with a portion in older barrels on fine lees, which gives it more texture than the average Sancerre. 2025 ran dry and warm through spring and early summer, with an August heatwave broken by rain on the 20th; Sauvignon picking started at the end of August and the wines came in fresh and pure.

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.
