History

Les Cris is a single 5 hectare plot at Morogues on Kimmeridgian marl oriented east to west, planted from a massal selection dating to 1967 and made as a wine designed for the table. 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.
