Chablis Premier Cru 'Beauroy' Philippe Pacalet 2022

Philippe Pacalet's Chablis Premier Cru "Beauroy" is a white Burgundy that blends class and extraordinary material, shaped by the hands of one of the most talented producers in the world. Philippe Pacalet is one of those names that can make any wine lover wince, rightly placed in the wine elite by virtue of personal and characterful yet universal interpretations. Having always grappled with some of the world's most vocal communes in terms of viticulture, Philippe has decided to ban chemical or synthetic substances both in the vineyard and in the cellar, so as to enhance the peculiarities of each climat without filtering or manipulation. The recently expanded vineyard stock consists mainly of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, although the vines become virtually only readers of terroir, as in the case of this gritty and sparkling Chablis. Total.

Premier Cru "Beauroy" Chablis is made from pure Chardonnay grapes, from vineyards located in the premier cru of the same name and resting on clay soils, rich in Kimmeridgian limestone gravels. In the vineyard, as already mentioned, work is done with the utmost respect for the land and plants, excluding the use of chemicals, herbicides or synthetic substances. In the cellar we continue with consistency, with alcoholic fermentations occurring spontaneously in barriques and aging in the same containers.

The Chablis "Beauroy" Premier Cru reveals itself in the glass with bright and intense straw-colored guise. Very broad nose, a masterful synthesis of complexity and finesse, in which hints of lemon zest, clarified butter, grapefruit and ginger stand out sharply. The kaleidoscopic olfactory spectrum finds confirmation in a taste of surgical precision, where impressive saline elongation and textural richness come together in exemplary fashion. Supernova!
