Intensity
This Burgundy grand cru might be sulphur free but it has astonishing ageing potential.
More infoA skilful practitioner of sulphur-free vinification, Philippe Pacalet produces a grand cru with a particularly dark and deep hue. Its aromatic bouquet is rich in fruity and floral aromas. Ageing in wooden barrels delivers additional complexity, with spicy aromas and a well-developed tannic structure which mellows over time. This wine would benefit from being cellared for several years before accompanying fully-flavoured dishes.
