"Deep raspberry fruit with a regal feel. Velvet tannins and intense raspberry compote. Pure and authoritative."
Nathan Hill, Chairman
Philippe was clear that while yields were historically low, the payoff is in the glass. Aromatic clarity, saline finishes and finely judged tannins run through the range, and the wines show real charm already alongside the structure to age. A year where selection mattered enormously, and in Pacalet’s hands, the results are compelling.
Philippe Pacalet is one of Tim Atkin's Top 15 Négociants & Cooperatives.
What the critics say:
"There is a marvellously expressive blackberry fruit, with notes of violets, spice and a slightly exotic, savoury, gamey edge. This is an impressively concentrated wine, tannic and firm, not only a triumph particularly for the vintage but for any year. The grapes were fermented as whole bunches and the wine is ageing in barrels, mostly used. This should open in five years and will easily drink for 20 more and beyond."
"Coming from the top of the cru, this showcases black cherries, sweet plums, evergreen and excellent tang. The rather weighty (for the vintage), sweeping palate delivers unexpected generosity nicely encased by sculpted tannins. Don’t rush—this easily deserves seven to eight years of cellar time."
