Gevrey-Chambertin Philippe Pacalet 2018
The wine
Vinified in whole bunches without sulphur and using natural yeasts, this Gevrey-Chambertin is made from forty-year-old vines cultivated on clay and limestone soils. It delivers contrast on the palate: generous, fresh and mineral simultaneously, it reveals small red and dark berry notes, overlaid with more complex wildflower and musk accents. This wine, which gains in complexity after being cellared for a little while, is ideal for accompanying food.
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.
