Intensity
The Meursault Le Limozin from Philippe Pacalet is a natural wine from an exceptional terroir whose name is derived from the Latin word “Limosa” meaning “wet mud”.
More infoPhilippe Pacalet’s Meursault is a cuvée produced from a small parcel of land of 0.5 hectares situated in the climat of Le Limozin just below Genevrières. The terrain is flat with a significant depth of good soil containing a high proportion of clay. The Chardonnay grapes are harvested by hand. Fermentation, based solely on native yeasts, takes place in large wooden barrels for a period of three to four weeks. During this process, only the skins are crushed with no juice being extracted and the temperature being kept stable. After naturally fermenting, the wine is aged on fine lees for 12 to 18 months.
On the nose, this nectar is characterised by delightful aromas with typical notes of roasted almonds, white flowers, fern, cream, honey, citrus and a rich minerality. On the palate, it offers an appetising fruitiness, is full-bodied and delivers a sapid, lasting finish with increasingly contrasting flavours of lychee and citrus zest.
