Domaine Pelle Sancerre Blanc La Croix Au Garde

The Pellé family estate has been cultivating four hectares of Sancerre in the village of Montigny since 1987 (in addition to their parcel in Menetou-Salon). Sauvignon Blanc grown in the Sancerre vineyard’s Caillote soil, a sort of pebbly clay-limestone, consistently produces beautiful, fine-textured wines. The family’s vineyard practices strive to achieve balance: composts are applied to balance soil nutrients, and neither pesticides nor herbicides are used. Work is dictated by day-to-day walks through the stony vineyards.

An exceptional example of fastball Sancerre, and irresistible to boot, Pelle's La Croix Au Garde is light as a feather, layered with delicate citrus, and laden with minerality. Green apples, citrus blossom, lemon oil, and freshly sliced limes all delicately dusted with mineral talc and sea salt. This lengthy finish is marked with whispers of cured lemons, crushed seashells and fresh herbs.
