Based in Beaune, Philippe Pacalet is an independent winemaker wo launched his own label in 2001. He produces approximately 30 different cuvées, which are known for being quite distinctive, with great purity and thrilling aromatics. This particular release is from Ladoix, an appellation belonging to the village of Ladoix-Serrigny, situated at the northern end of the Côte de Beaune. The classification, which was created in 1937, applies to both red and white wines. The whites tend to be fresh and floral, with a touch of minerality.

Producer Information

Philippe Pacalet is a Burgundian wine producer known for elegant Pinot Noir and Chardonnay wines.Pacalet produces some 30 different wines from village level upwards across both the Côte de Nuits and Côte de Beaune, as well a Chablis Premier Cru Beauroy. The Grand Cru flagships are Corton-Charlemagne, Charmes-Chambertin, Échezaux and Ruchottes-Chambertin.A relative newcomer who started in 1999, Pacalet does not own any vineyards but instead rents a selection of plots with interesting terroirs. Until 2007 winemaking took place in several borrowed spaces, but then Pacalet purchased a 19th Century cellar in the heart of Beaune from the de Montille family.In the winery, natural yeasts take care of fermentations. Red grapes are vinified in whole clusters in wooden vats for three to four weeks with traditional pigeage by foot. Aging takes place in piéces (228 liter barrels) for 15 to 18 months. White grapes are pressed and settled before fermentation in larger barrels. There are no sulfur additions, other than a tiny amount at bottling.
