About Philippe Pacalet Puligny-Montrachet

The Burgundy region is sheer enchantment. Nestled in the east-central part of France, it is fragmented into diminutive plots known as climats, which give birth to wines of exceptional quality, each with their own distinct and sharply defined characteristics. Merely a few meters or kilometers can be the deciding factor in yielding two completely different wines.

In other wine-producing regions around the globe, the name might not carry as much weight; however, in Burgundian wine—beyond the grand cru and premier cru classifications—it is imperative for the label to feature the municipality or vineyard where the grapes were harvested and produced. This is the case, for example, with Philippe Pacalet Puligny-Montrachet, a white wine crafted by Philippe Pacalet from grapes grown in the Puligny-Montrachet municipality (under the A.O.C. of the same name), specifically from the vineyards Les Noyers Brets, Le Trezin, and Les Petits Noizerots. These three climats, endowed with municipal denomination, are located at the heart of the Côte de Beaune, to the south of the Côte d’Or (in the center of Burgundy). Here, the chardonnay vines—averaging 45 years old—thrive in a distinctive terroir: soil composed of clay and limestone, southeast-facing orientation, and a cool microclimate. It is of paramount importance to Philippe Pacalet that the indigenous yeasts (the agents of fermentation) are already present in the soil, necessitating meticulous and respectful cultivation of the vines and the land.

In the winery, the vinification process for Philippe Pacalet Puligny-Montrachet begins with the pressing of whole clusters. Following a brief settling of the must, the journey of Philippe Pacalet Puligny-Montrachet continues with alcoholic fermentation (initiated by indigenous yeasts) and malolactic fermentation. It is noteworthy that SO2 is not used at any point during the production process. The aging of Philippe Pacalet Puligny-Montrachet will take place on its lees, without racking, for an average period of 13 months. This final phase is of great significance to Pacalet. Its duration will be determined by tasting. It is essential to recognize that each clima and terroir is unique, hence each will require its own specific time and maturation. Close monitoring is essential, and when the opportune moment arrives, the wine is to be bottled and released—no sooner, no later. Once Philippe Pacalet Puligny-Montrachet is ready, unfiltered and unfined, it is racked and bottled by hand (following a two-month period of rest). Ultimately, it is the wine that dictates the process, and in Burgundy, no two are the same.

The spectrum of options is vast, so becoming a connoisseur of this region demands dedication. It is necessary to rigorously train one's sense of smell and taste. The municipal vineyards represent the initial step in the classification ladder, the first rung towards discerning excellence.

2019

Philippe Pacalet Puligny-Montrachet 2019 is a luscious white wine. On the nose, it's refined, exuding aromas of peach, apple cider, and blossoms. The palate is vibrant, culminating in a spirited finish. Nuances of lemon tart, toasted sesame, hazelnut, and flint are present.
