The subsequent ageing on fine lees lasts eight months and takes place in the same containers, imparting structure and complexity without weighing down the palate. The result is a sip of great \u003cstrong\u003earomatic purity\u003c\/strong\u003e, with a persistent, crisp and refreshing finish.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and interesting facts\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDomaine Pellé's Menetou-Salon Blanc Les Blanchais is produced in Morogues as a sublime \u003cstrong\u003eexpression of the terroir\u003c\/strong\u003e.
