The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine It is a rare house, to which very few have access. Philippe Pacalet is an ultra-sensitive person, one of those who transcribe Burgundy with the most accuracy through the most natural vinifications possible, in whole bunches, without sulfur, followed by long maturations, in organic culture of course.

In the tradition of his mentors Marcel Lapierre and Jules Chauvet, he makes wines that combine mastery and aestheticism, perfect reflections of the great Burgundian terroirs that he has been exploring for twenty years. Awarded 2 stars in the French Guide Vert RVF, he makes sublime wines, of incomparable softness and precision, which are among the most authentic of their appellations.
Wine From two old, steeply sloping vines on limestone bedrock, one facing southwest on Pernand, the other south on Aloxe-Corton, the 2018 White Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru assumes its grand cru status! Its noble origins coupled with vines of 60 years old on average and an uncompromising vinification ensure a slow evolution. It is a white wine of long guard, cut in the rock, offering a great vitality, aromas of gentian, anise, spices. A complex, persistent white wine of great dimension. A long ageing period is in prospect!
Vinification Hand harvested, whole grapes pressed, fermented and matured on the lees without added sulfites in rooms for 14 months.
