A delicious treat with a lovely spicy fruit flavor...

Gault Millau 16/20 + distinction Wine Favorite
The Henry Pellé Estate produced in both red and white, these wines are always well-structured. Made exclusively from Pinot Noir, this Menetou-Salon Red 2006 It reveals a bouquet characterized by aromas of red berries, with a smooth and full-bodied palate that retains the grape’s natural fruitiness. The result is a wine that is both delicious and easy to drink, beautifully expressing the suppleness of its grape variety. Highly representative of the appellation, it is best enjoyed young, when it is at its most supple and fresh.

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 both the vineyard and the winery is impressive. Since 2006, Paul-Henri has been revitalizing 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 standard of excellence with its certification in organic farming since 2021.

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 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 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 (sun-drenched Kimmeridgian marl), Les Blanchais (northeast-facing Kimmeridgian marl). Well-structured, the reds can show some variation.
