2021 Domaine Pellé Sancerre "La Croix au Garde", Loire Valley, France

ABOUT THIS WINE

Since 1982, our estate has been cultivating 4 hectares of Sancerre in the village of Montigny. The ‘Caillotes’ type of pebbly clay and limestone soil produces beautifully fine wines with great regularity. An aromatic wine that mixes citrus and floral notes underpinned by a lovely minerality.

ABOUT THIS PRODUCER

Our Domaine takes its roots in Morogues, a village at the far eastern end of the Loire Valley. Our cellars are close to the village center, nestling below our beautiful “Les Cris” red grape vineyard. In each of our vineyard plots in the neighboring Menetou-salon and Sancerre appellations, we observe Mother Nature, cherishing and working with her so that she gives us her very best in return.
In this part of the world, we think, make, and drink wine; sharing ideas, a glass of wine or two, and the taste of our land, with our friends and customers.

These lines are written by the current generation but they apply to Domaine Pellé from its very beginning. Over time, the world has accelerated but nature has stayed faithful, determining the work of the winemaker, year after year, with each new season. With the same devotion to his craft, the winemaker still slips through the cellar door late at night to check on the wines, only now he is wearing sneakers, not clogs!
