Menetou-Salon Morogues 2022 Domaine Pellé
The Menetou-Salon Morogues 2022 from Domaine Pellé is one of the most refined expressions of Sauvignon Blanc from the central Loire Valley, a region celebrated for its crisp and elegant white wines. This cuvée is crafted from seven parcels located on the highest slopes of the Morogues appellation, where clay and limestone soils enhance the minerality and purity of the grape variety.
In the glass, it shines with a bright straw yellow color, highlighted by greenish reflections. The nose opens with a vibrant and layered bouquet: ripe yellow and tropical fruits such as peach, mango and pineapple are complemented by fresh citrus notes and a delicate herbal touch reminiscent of tomato leaf and green pepper. Subtle and never overpowering, this vegetal nuance adds elegance and depth to the wine’s aromatic profile.
On the palate, the Menetou-Salon Morogues 2022 reveals great precision and finesse. Its crystalline texture is supported by a lively, refreshing acidity that balances the concentrated fruit core. The finish is long and persistent, with mineral undertones and lingering citrus notes that enhance its freshness and complexity.
Vinification at Domaine Pellé is conducted with respect for the fruit and terroir: the grapes undergo direct pressing, fermentation in stainless steel tanks, and ageing on fine lees in large oak casks and barriques. This approach allows the wine to retain its expressive purity while gaining additional structure and depth.
Versatile at the table, this Menetou-Salon is an excellent match for baked fish such as sea bream with pepper sauce and lemon, but it also pairs wonderfully with delicate white meats like rabbit stuffed with wild herbs. It is equally enjoyable as a refined aperitif or with vegetarian dishes based on seasonal vegetables.
The Domaine Pellé has long been recognized as a benchmark in Morogues, committed to showcasing the true character of its terroir. With the 2022 vintage, the estate offers a wine that combines freshness, elegance and typicity, reaffirming the high reputation of Menetou-Salon wines.
