In 1959, Menetou-Salon wines started to build an image for themselves, following the creation of an appellation d’origine contrôlée
Ernest’s son, the young Henry Pellé, aware of the rich quality of his terroirs in Morogues, insisted that the village’s name be allowed to appear after that of the appellation on the wine label. Since then Menetou-Salon Morogues, at the heart of the range, has remained the Domaine’s flagship wine.

Origin: Morogues, Loire, France
A blend of 7 parcels from the highest slopes of the appellation. This location (cool, yet sunny climate) and this soil (Kimmeridgian marl) give this wine a subtle, pure nose with aromas of white flowers and citrus fruits.
Vinification
Direct pressing of the grapes on arrival at the winery; settling; fermentation in stainless steel tanks.
Ageing on the lees.

Winemaker's Notes
The taste is racy and cristalline, clear with a citrus fruit taste initially followed by a saline and mineral finish. Nothing overly exuberant: just clarity and precision.
Contains: sulphites.
