"A fragrance of great intensity—simply superb!"

Les Blanchais opens with an expressive nose of fresh herbs, enhanced by vibrant citrus notes. A subtle minerality lends it complexity and elegance. On the palate, the full-bodied, luscious texture blends with a lively tension, offering balance and depth. The wine captivates with its harmony and great drinkability.

Bettane & Desseauve

Wine rated (2026 guide) 93/100

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 breathing new life into 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 as an organic farm since 2021.

Rated estate (2026 guide) 1*Star (Rising stars or high-quality winemakers producing wines of a high standard—you won’t be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)

About the wine:

As for the Sauvignon Blanc, nature was generous in 2023, bestowing natural suppleness and fluidity. Each terroir remains clearly defined: the Blanchais wines on limestone offer a full-bodied attack followed by a finely crafted finish.

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), Les Blanchais (northeast-facing Kimmeridgian marl). Well-structured, the reds can vary somewhat in character.
