pinot noir
Kimmeridgian marl and Portlandian limestone
A blend of four plots on the hills above Morogues
This, Domaine Pellé’s signature wine, reveals a juicy Pinot Noir carried by the freshness of Kimmeridgian marl and Portlandian limestone. This terroir gives rise to a clean-cut wine with lovely bright fruit and a supple tannic structure. Direct, fresh and luscious, it bears the signature of its origin and can age gracefully over time.
