Description:
Philippe Pacalet is one of the leading natural winemakers in Burgundy, producing wines with minimal intervention to ensure that the terroir is as transparent as possible in his selections. He crafts wines from some of the most renowned appellations of Côte d’Or where he strategically chose vineyard parcels that parallel with the principles of his work. He does not possess his own vineyards but is cautious to contract with growers who work organically and sustainably, following his own rigid set of beliefs and personally supervises farming throughout each phase. Harvest is performed manually by his team. Being that terroir is of utmost importance to him, Philippe removes anything from the vinification process that can obscure the purity of the land, allowing each wine’s specific characteristics to shine through. His overall philosophy is "Authenticity, Non-Interventionism and Cultural Experience." All of his care and attention to detail results in unrivaled top quality wines of stunning clarity.
Tasting Note:
From a southeastern facing slope, just across the river from Fourchaume, this is a showier style of Chablis, with deep concentrated ripe fruit— candied pineapple and papaya with a salty minerality.
Professional Ratings
91Lemon tart, apple and spice flavors mark this lively white. The structure is buffered by a dense texture as this plays out on the lemon-tinged finish. Drink now through 2024.
