Meursault 1er Cru Les Perrières Philippe Pacalet 2012
The wine
This premier cru is characterised by Chardonnay grapes cultivated in a hot, sunny climat on stony clay soil. It is vinified naturally without sulphur and alcoholic and malolactic fermentations take place in Burgundy pièces (228-litre barrels). It is aged on the lees for one year. It delivers intensely toasted, floral and spicy aromatic notes. A lively mineral structure balances out its lushness and gives it good cellaring potential.
About the Producer Philippe Pacalet
Enologist and nephew of Marcel Lapierre, Philippe Pacalet has been producing top-quality wines since 2001. The key to the success of his négociant business is his desire to best express the terroir, his meticulous vinifications, non-interventionist methods and his discerning use of minimal doses of sulphur. His extremely natural wines have stunning balance and for the most part, excellent aging potential.
