Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru La Perrière Philippe Pacalet 2014

The wine

This Gevrey-Chambertin premier cru comes from a chalk-clay terroir rich in pebbles. Located under the Mazis Chambertin grand cru, the plot is defined by its south-westerly orientation which brings freshness and sunshine to the Pinot Noir. Vinified naturally without sulphur, the wine has matured for 17 months and its substance is balanced between fleshiness and elegance. Round and fruity, it is enlivened by a superb minerality and notes of small berries and flowers. A lovely wine that will nicely accompany dishes like small game
