The Sancerre Blanc La Croix au Garde from the celebrated Domaine Pellé is a white wine that embodies the elegance and finesse of the Sancerre terroir. This pure expression of Sauvignon Blanc hails from the heart of France, in the renowned Loire region. La Croix au Garde is recognized for its distinctive aromatic profile, highlighted by notes of white-fleshed fruits like peach and pear, accompanied by citrus nuances and a slight hint of aromatic herbs.

The winemaking process is conducted with great care: the grapes are hand-picked at the optimal ripeness to preserve the natural acidity and aromatic qualities of the grape variety. Fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, this wine then spends several months on its fine lees, gaining complexity and structure.

On the palate, the Sancerre Blanc La Croix au Garde is vibrant and fresh, with a beautiful minerality reflecting the limestone-rich soil of the region. Perfect as an aperitif, it pairs beautifully with seafood, fresh goat cheese, or vegetable-based dishes. A white wine that stands out for its purity and precision, making it an ideal choice for those seeking a wine that combines tradition and modernity.

Family-owned producer based in Morogues (Menetou‑Salon), known for its fine Sauvignon Blanc and elegant Pinot Noir, with a viticultural approach focused on sustainability.
Region: Loire Valley (Menetou‑Salon, Morogues) — Centre‑Val de Loire
Country: Francia
Grapes: Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Noir
A local reference in the Menetou‑Salon appellation, noted for the quality of its Sauvignons. Family-run estate with multiple generations involved. Use of low-impact viticultural practices and attention to the expression of individual parcels. Production of both Menetou‑Salon cuvées and wines from soils similar to those of Sancerre.
Winery history
The estate is a historic family property in Morogues; Henry Pellé boosted the family's commercial profile, and the construction of a new cellar is recorded in the 1970s. Subsequent generations developed a parcel-by-parcel approach to vineyard management and established the estate as a benchmark for the Menetou‑Salon appellation.
Production philosophy
Work focused on respecting the terroir: low-impact agricultural practices, yield control and low-intervention winemaking using indigenous yeasts, varied maturation in stainless steel and wood, and lees contact for whites where applicable.
Terroir and vineyards
Morogues, in the heart of the Menetou‑Salon appellation. The vineyards are planted on Kimmeridgian soils of calcareous marl, silica and flint—the same types of soil that characterize the area between Menetou‑Salon and Sancerre.
