Domaine Philippe Pacalet

Philippe Pacalet could be described as self-dictate even if he has never claimed anything.
Do not call it a natural or organic winemaker, it would be too reductive. Despite his family origins.
A man who started almost from nothing - without inheritance of vines - but who with strength of persuasion and perseverance managed to erect his wines in the closed bosom of the great wines of Burgundy. Adulated especially in Asia where the style of Philippe's wines magnifies the local cuisine.
However, nothing was won in Burgundy because Philippe Pascalet has his origins in Beaujolais where he cut his teeth with his nail Marcel Lapierre, from 85 to 91. Then comes the meeting with Henry-Frédéric Roch who hires him to take charge of the vinification at Domaine Prieuré-Roch. Wines that have become mythical since ... In 2001 came the brilliant intuition to create a haute couture trade, a model not very fashionable at the time. Philippe Pascalet is looking for the best terroirs and grapes, in other words that the approach has since been emulated.
Without dogmatism, his style is also original and out of fashion since unchanged from the beginning.
To put it simply, a whole harvest vinification with little sulphur and no new barrel. The result: wines in finesse and elegance, never in opulence or concentration, rather in balance and aromatic. The tannins are integrated, little extraction and never heaviness in the wines. We touch the ideal vision of voluptuous and airy Pinot, with heady fragrances.
