Philippe Pacalet

Philippe Pacalet

Founded in 2001, the Philippe Pacalet business quickly became an essential reference for great Burgundy wines. A great-nephew of Marcel Lapierre, an emblematic figure of natural wine, Philippe Pacalet gained solid experience at the Prieuré Roch before launching his own project. His ambition is clear: to reveal with the utmost fidelity the identity of the most prestigious Burgundy climates through winemaking that respects the grape and the vintage.

Philippe Pacalet does not own a vineyard, but carefully selects plots cultivated by partners who share the same quality requirements. Mythical appellations such as Gevrey-Chambertin, Chambolle-Musigny, Nuits-Saint-Georges, Pommard, and Corton-Charlemagne give rise to wines of great precision. Fermentations are carried out with indigenous yeasts, extractions remain delicate, and the use of sulfur is reduced to a strict minimum in order to preserve all the finesse, energy, and expression of the Burgundy terroir.

Today, Philippe Pacalet is among the most sought-after winemakers in Burgundy. His cuvées, produced in limited quantities, delight both enthusiasts and the finest tables for their aromatic purity, elegance, and ability to faithfully express each terroir. A true reference for low-intervention Burgundy wines, the estate continues to embody a demanding and authentic vision of viticulture, where the terroir shines brightly in every bottle.
