Menetou-Salon Les Bornés Blanc, Domaine Henry Pellé

Paul-Henry Pellé, the fourth generation of the Pellé family, today farms a 40 hectare estate around the village of Morogues in the heart of Menetou-Salon. Both grape growers and until the early 1990s, grapevine nursery owners, the family have developed their vineyard holdings across the kimmeridgian soils of this hilly region since the start of the 19th century. The land is farmed organically with 1/3rd of their plots planted with Pinot Noir and the rest with Sauvignon Blanc. The whites are fermented and aged in both tank and barrel, depending on the cuvée, whilst the reds are made in tank and wooden fermenters with further maturation in the latter.
