The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine This is a rare and exclusive estate, accessible to only a fortunate few. Philippe Pacalet, a deeply intuitive winemaker, captures the essence of Burgundy with precision and elegance through the most natural vinification methods—whole-cluster fermentations without sulfur, followed by extended aging.

Following in the footsteps of his mentors Marcel Lapierre and Jules Chauvet, Pacalet crafts wines that blend technical mastery with artistic finesse, perfectly reflecting the exceptional Burgundian terroirs he has explored for over two decades.

Awarded 2 stars by the RVF Guide (Revue du Vin de France), his exquisite wines, celebrated for their unmatched delicacy and precision, rank among the most sought-after in their appellations.
Wine With its beautifully floral bouquet, the Chambolle-Musigny Premier Cru Les Lavrottes 2021 is a pure delight, exuding fresh and refined aromas. Crafted from 50-year-old vines rooted in a rocky limestone terroir and vinified with whole clusters, this Pinot Noir embodies exceptional finesse, elegance, and sophistication. Delicate scents of rose and violet are layered with hints of tea and sandalwood, all seamlessly woven into a suave, complex, and sapid structure. A masterpiece of winemaking, available only in limited quantities!
Vinification Hand-harvested, vinified as whole grapes, with twice-daily punching of the cap for 2 weeks.
Alcoholic fermentation with indigenous yeasts, malolactic fermentation in rooms.
Aged on lees in barrels without racking, with stirring and no SO2 for 16 months.
