s located around the village of Morogues, in the far east of the Loire Valley, where meadows and hillsides cluster around its beautiful church, and where the cellars of s are situated. Winemakers for generations, the Pellés have been producing wines in the Menetou-Salon appellation since its creation in 1959. The histories of the appellation and Domaine Pellé are intertwined; together, they took their first steps, came of age, and achieved renown.

The vineyards of Domaine Pellé are planted on Kimmeridgian-type clay-limestone marl from the Loire, also known as “chicken ear” or “white earth.” The vineyards are managed using sustainable viticulture practices; soil management and green pruning allow the terroir to express itself and yields to be controlled. Led by Anne Pellé and her son, Paul-Henry, Domaine Pellé has become a leader and the foremost ambassador of the Menetou-Salon appellation—the pride of the Berry region—and converted to organic farming in 2020.
