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 Located below the Grand Cru Chapelle-Chambertin, the 2020 red Gevrey Chambertin 1er Cru Petite Chapelle offers an elegant, complex and structured version of its appellation. It's a precise, deep wine, with aromas of red fruit mixed with hints of spice, a very fine wine with great sapidity. It exudes harmony and, above all, pleasure, even in its youth.
Vinification Hand-picked. Whole harvest vinification. Aged on lees for 16 months. Bottled in March 2022.
