Gevrey-Chambertin Philippe Pacalet 2018

The wine

Vinified in whole bunches without sulphur and using natural yeasts, this Gevrey-Chambertin is made from forty-year-old vines cultivated on clay and limestone soils. It delivers contrast on the palate: generous, fresh and mineral simultaneously, it reveals small red and dark berry notes, overlaid with more complex wildflower and musk accents. This wine, which gains in complexity after being cellared for a little while, is ideal for accompanying food.
