Domaine Pelle Menetou-Salon les Blanchais 2017

May as well be the best vintage of this outstanding value that memory recalls. Delicious golden apples, lemon verbena and steely minerals lead on the pristine, crystalline nose. Powered by lime, nectarine and pear along with an intensely mineral texture and supreme concentration, the fresh cut fruits and essence of rocks incise through the laser sharp focused finish. Zero oak, zero winemaking wizardry, pure terroir, pure expression. Would put many a Sancerre or Pouilly-Fume double its price to shame. Drink now-2022.
