Who can say they don’t feel that pang of joy when they catch sight of a magnum or jeroboam being poured? And made all the more thrilling to see the label flaunting the stellar Philippe Pacalet name; heightened further by the exceptionally low yield produced from the 2021 vintage – Pacalet’s smallest on record!
We are delighted to share a single series of seven rare Jerobaoms plus eight cases of magnums; all ex-cellar. Notable is the inclusion of the first ever vintage produced of the white cuvée Meursault “Limozin”.
2021 MEURSAULT “LIMOZIN”, PHILIPPE PACALET
40 year old Chardonnay vines with a South-Western exposure from three landlocked plots in the Meursault 1er cru “Genevrières”. This wine is very special; that’s why they decided to isolate and bottle it under its climat name. It is rich, complex and delicious, and already in youth reveals exceptional potential to age and develop.
A new enthralling chapter in the Burgundy adventure. This vintage offers wines with supreme balance, insane purity and a scintillating freshness. Cool-climate and balanced at its best. Just one elephant to discuss. A growing season like no other. Stylistically it signals a welcome return to classicism across the region. It is likely that the 2021 vintage will bring great joy to Burgundy purists, the cooler-than-usual growing season failed to force high alcohol levels – as has been the case in recent years – leaving instead an arguably more refined style. However, as yields were so tiny, for those with a penchant for cool-climate Burgundy, to secure the best examples, be ready to act quick.
