Based in \u003cstrong\u003eBeaune\u003c\/strong\u003e , he doesn't come from a traditional family estate, but rather from a personal and radical vision: to vinify freely, without artifice, allowing the grapes and the terroir to speak for themselves. Heir to the spirit of the \u003cstrong\u003egreat names of natural wine\u003c\/strong\u003e , he breaks free from conventions, works on a \u003cstrong\u003ehuman scale\u003c\/strong\u003e , and creates wines that captivate both amateurs and connoisseurs alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e The vine and the wine as a single organism\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003ePacalet works with \u003cstrong\u003emicro-parcels,\u003c\/strong\u003e using grapes from vines cultivated according to \u003cstrong\u003eorganic\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003ebiodynamic\u003c\/strong\u003e principles. The \u003cstrong\u003eharvest\u003c\/strong\u003e is \u003cstrong\u003edone by hand\u003c\/strong\u003e ; the grapes arrive at the winery intact, like a living material to be nurtured. \u003cstrong\u003eNo additives\u003c\/strong\u003e , no yeasts, no filtration or fining: only \u003cstrong\u003eindigenous yeasts\u003c\/strong\u003e guide slow and precise fermentations. Each vintage thus becomes the pure expression of its terroir, a balance of fruit, texture, and energy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e Vibrant vintages, balancing finesse and character\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003ePhilippe Pacalet defies regional boundaries with his wines: \u003cstrong\u003eChablis 1er Cru Beauroy 2020 and 2022\u003c\/strong\u003e , taut and saline, with hints of wet stone and citrus zest; \u003cstrong\u003eMonthélie\u003c\/strong\u003e , more caressing, with a palate of cherry and violet, maintaining a precise and ethereal structure; and even \u003cstrong\u003eCornas 2019,\u003c\/strong\u003e which reveals a refined, vibrant Syrah, driven by the minerality and freshness of the granite soils. Each bottle is an invitation to patience and emotion, the hallmark of great, living wines.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[],"url":"https:\/\/mireehaute.com\/en-gb\/collections\/philippe-pacalet.oembed","provider":"Marée Haute","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
