Domaine Henry PellÉ

– Menetou-Salon

This risks sounding slightly arrogant or prescriptive but honestly any serious retail selection and most serious wine lists should include at least something from Henry Pellé. The domaine is absolutely that important and the wines are seriously that good. Cool entries, polished stainless steel, linear, taut, precise and then ooh, wow, how’s that unfolding like that? ... Stones, pebbles, little whispers of underlying richness, layers and textures all finished off, pulled together, exploded apart and ricocheted again and again with irrepressible energy, vibrant acidity and undiluted vif. Deeply impressive, very lovely wines.
