Philippe Pacalet, Gevrey Chambertin Les Corbeaux 1er Cru, 2022
🏰The 2022 Philippe Pacalet Gevrey Chambertin Les Corbeaux 1er Cru comes from a 【Burgundy vintage praised for its joyous, fresh, and vibrant reds】. Despite Gevrey-Chambertin vineyards suffering from storms and hail in late June, the resulting wines are shaping up to be excellent with complexity and clear, aromatic fruit. This Pinot Noir is expected to offer ripe yet crunchy fruit, incredibly fine but present tannin structure, and moderate alcohols, often with a saline, savory, or bitter edge.
🍴 This elegant Gevrey-Chambertin would be an excellent pairing for roasted poultry, game birds, mushroom dishes, or delicate beef preparations like beef bourguignon.
🥂 Ideal for collectors and those who appreciate elegant, structured Pinot Noir with significant aging potential. The 2022 Gevrey-Chambertin wines may benefit from some time in the cellar before drinking. Serve at cellar temperature, around 14-16°C (57-61°F). Decanting might be beneficial to allow the wine to open up.
BACKGROUND
Philippe Pacalet is a prominent figure in the natural wine movement in Burgundy. After working at Domaine Prieuré Roch, he started his own micro-négoce business in 2001. Pacalet is known for his strict adherence to natural winemaking: organic farming, whole-cluster fermentation with indigenous yeasts, and minimal sulfur use. 'Les Corbeaux' is a Premier Cru vineyard in Gevrey-Chambertin, situated right next to the Grand Cru Mazis-Chambertin. Pacalet's interpretation of Les Corbeaux is highly aromatic and elegant, featuring notes of wild berries, floral perfume, and a distinct earthy minerality, with a silky texture and refined tannins.
