Domaine Henry Pellé - Le Carroir rouge 2019
91/100
RVF
"A crisp, refined style for a wine meant for aging"
This unique terroir within the appellation—planted on sandy and flinty soil by Henry Pellé in 1976—gives the wine a lively and austere structure. The 2019 Carroir red has a peppery nose with notes of black fruit. It is a refined, understated, and powerful wine with pronounced tannins.

Rated estate (2026 guide): 3*Stars (High-quality production that serves as a benchmark in its sector)
About the estate:
The Pellé family has deep roots in the Menetou-Salon appellation, and their work in both the vineyard and the winery is impressive. Since 2006, Paul-Henri has been revitalizing this family-run estate, which continues to improve in quality. The emphasis on single-vineyard wines and the mastery of oak aging—increasingly using large containers such as foudres and tanks—contribute to the estate’s excellence, which has been further elevated by its certification in organic farming since 2021.

Wine rated (2024 guide) 91/100
Rated estate (2026 guide) 1*Star (Rising stars or high-quality winemakers producing wines of a good standard—you won’t be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)
About the estate:
Paul-Henry Pellé, Anne’s son, oversees the vineyard and winemaking: this meticulous winemaker, who is constantly refining soil management and aging techniques, is fully committed to achieving optimal ripeness and a diverse expression of the terroirs. Meticulous winemaking yields crisp, refreshing whites (Morogues), as well as deeper wines that reflect the uniqueness of each terroir: Le Carroir (old vines on flint), Vignes de Ratier (sun-drenched Kimmeridgian marl), and Les Blanchais (northeast-facing Kimmeridgian marl). Well-structured, the reds can vary somewhat in character.
