Description:
Made from selected Pinot Noir grapes from Les Cris, Pelle's single vineyard in Morogues. Aged in barrique, this is a very fine wine showing ripe fruit and elegant oak balance, reminiscent of a Cote de Beaune style. A lovely wine which will improve with ageing.
A blend of different parcels from the commune of Morogues gives a fine balance of grape variety and terroir. This wine is given a long fermentation of 1 to 2 months and kept on the lees resulting in a wine full of extract with evident 'terroi' character. A rich style of sauvignon blanc which will continue to improve in the bottle. (6 x 75 cl)
This red from the commune of Morogues is made from Pinot Noir and has a clear garnet colour, not much darker than a dark rose. It shows rather vegetal green-tomato aromas over vinous red fruit at first, and hits the palate with a lean and herbal first impression; but a little time in the glass sees the nose add pleasant spicy notes of cinnamon and cloves, and the flavour develops full, almost plush red fruit with plenty of lemony acidity to give it structure.

From a single vineyard site, this lovely, complex wine is partially aged in oak. While delicious when young, it gains richness and secondary tropical flavours with age. Clos des Blanchais, from 40-year-old vines, has an astonishingly pure mineral nose , grape-pith and crystallised lemon on the palate, beautiful persistence and a rapier thrust of acidity. (6 x 75 cl)

Classic Sauvignon Blanc nose with ripe, minerally fruit on the palate From the highly respected appellation Menetou-Salon close to Sancerre. Domaine Henry Pelle is one of the most revered producers of this style of wine and this is their top wine, with grapes sourced from a small "clos de blanchaise" within their estate. Low-yield vine fruit is selected, adding concentration and finesse to the wine. (12 x 75 cl)
