(2022 Vintage Notes)
Sauvignon
powerful
lively
to bury

“A few years of aging will allow it to fully reveal its character”

Le Carroir offers a lively, refined structure with a clean, powerful flavor. The nose reveals aromas of slightly tart yellow fruits, followed by spicy notes. A great terroir-driven white wine, this 100% Sauvignon.

Wine rated (2025 guide) 92/100 (2022 vintage)

Rated estate (2026 guide) 3*Stars (High-quality production, setting the standard in its sector)

About the estate:

The Pellé family has deep roots in the Menetou-Salon appellation, and their work in the vineyard and in the winery is truly impressive. Since 2006, Paul-Henri has revitalized this family estate, which continues to improve in quality. The emphasis on single-vineyard wines and the mastery of oak aging—increasingly using large vessels such as casks and tanks—contribute to the estate’s excellence, which has added another layer of commitment with its certification in organic farming since 2021.

Wine rated (2025 guide) 92/100 (2022 vintage)

Rated estate (2026 guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or quality winemakers producing wines of a high standard—you won’t be disappointed when tasting 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 his 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 (sunny Kimmeridgian marl terroir), Les Blanchais (northeast-facing Kimmeridgian marl). Well-structured, the reds may show some variation.
