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.

This Chambolle-Musigny fulfils the promises of its appellation: elegance and sensuality. It will charm you with its delicate floral (rose, violet) and fruit (small red berries) flavours, and silky texture. Pinot Noir grapes from fifty-year-old vines are harvested by hand and vinified whole without sulphur. The grapeskin cap is punched down for a month (pigeage) to extract colour and refine the tannic structure. Natural yeasts trigger the alcoholic fermentation which precedes malolactic fermentation in Burgundy pièces (228-litre barrels). The wine is then aged for 15 months without further addition of sulfites.
