Menetou Salon Rouge Les Bornés Henri Pellé Menetou Salon, 2024

Menetou-Salon Rouge Les Bornés by Henri Pellé is a refined Loire red that showcases the elegance and freshness that make Pinot Noir from this region so distinctive. From one of the appellation’s most respected producers, it offers a graceful, terroir-driven expression with real charm and finesse.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, expect a bright, translucent ruby color that hints at its light-footed style. The nose is lifted and inviting, with red cherry, wild strawberry, raspberry, and subtle floral notes, rounded out by hints of spice, earth, and a gentle mineral edge. On the palate, it is juicy and precise, with supple tannins, crisp acidity, and a clean, refreshing finish. The fruit is delicate rather than heavy, making it a very approachable red now, while still having enough structure to develop nicely over the next few years.

Production
Les Bornés comes from vineyards in the Menetou-Salon appellation in the Loire Valley, where the cool climate and limestone-rich soils help preserve freshness and aromatic lift. The grapes are typically harvested with care to maintain purity and balance, and the vinification is aimed at highlighting the finesse and energy of the site rather than extracting too much weight.

Food & Serving
This is an excellent match for roast chicken, duck breast, grilled salmon, mushroom dishes, charcuterie, and soft cheeses. Serve slightly chilled at around 14-16°C, and decanting is not essential, though a short aeration can help open up its aromatics.

Henri Pellé is a highly regarded family producer in Menetou-Salon, known for crafting elegant, expressive wines that clearly reflect the Loire terroir. The domaine has earned a strong reputation for quality and consistency, helping raise the profile of Menetou-Salon as one of the Loire’s most characterful appellations.
