Closerie de Pelan encompasses 42 total hectares, most of which�besides a small parcel of Sauvignon Blanc�are planted to roughly 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot, and 5% Petit Verdot, at altitudes of 50 to 80 meters. Soils here are variegated and diverse, with more sand and silt than at Le Puy, which is situated higher (100 meters and above) and contains a greater presence of Asterie limestone than Pelan. The Le Puy team is currently refurbishing the cellar and planting vines to fill in the rows' many gaps, and they will, of course, continue the biodynamic farming Regis began over a decade ago. Regis son Sebastien is on board full-time at Pelan, working alongside Harold and the Amoreaus and helping continue his father's legacy; his name will appear on the estate's front labels as well. 12.6% alcohol.
