History

Le Carroir Rouge is a 0.75 hectare Pinot Noir plot at Morogues planted in 1976 from an old massal selection, on a confidential flint terroir within a limestone appellation. The estate's own page states that the domaine is certified in biodynamic agriculture without naming the certifier; Biodyvin lists Domaine Pellé as a member since 2022.
