Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Lavaux Saint-Jacques Philippe Pacalet 2011
The wine
Reputed for the diversity of his terroirs, Gevrey-Chambertin is here magnificent in the capable, natural hands of Philippe Pacalet. The wine comes from clay-chalk soil and the Pinot Noir it is made up of benefits from exposure to the south, ensuring a temperate and bright climate. After a sulphur-free, natural vinification, the wine has developed a powerful and sunny profile. Its fruity and floral bouquet is completed by hints of violet, sandalwood and musk. Its deep, tannic structure promises superb pairings with characterful dishes.
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.
