Philippe Pacalet Nuits-Saint-Georges 2017

Philippe Pacalet’s Nuits-Saint-Georges 2017 is a beautifully expressive Pinot Noir from one of Burgundy’s most respected natural-minded producers. It captures the darker, more structured side of Nuits-Saint-Georges while retaining Pacalet’s hallmark purity, finesse, and energy. Sourced from the heart of Bourgogne, this is a wine that speaks clearly of its village and vintage.

Tasting Notes
Expect a deep, youthful ruby colour in the glass. The nose is elegant and layered, offering ripe red cherry, wild strawberry, black tea, violets, and a subtle earthy spice, with a touch of oak in the background if present. On the palate, the wine is precise and finely textured, with vibrant acidity, silky tannins, and a core of red and dark berry fruit. Nuits-Saint-Georges typically brings more muscle and savouriness than many other village wines in Burgundy, and in Pacalet’s hands that structure is polished rather than heavy. The 2017 vintage should already be approachable, but it also has the balance to develop gracefully over several years.

Production
Philippe Pacalet works with fruit from carefully selected Burgundy vineyards, often favouring healthy, sustainably farmed parcels that can express site character with minimal intervention. In Nuits-Saint-Georges, the clay-limestone soils and cooler village climate give Pinot Noir its characteristic depth, firmness, and earthy complexity. Vinification is typically low-intervention, with native yeasts, gentle extraction, and a restrained use of new oak to preserve freshness and terroir expression.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs wonderfully with roast duck, mushroom risotto, seared tuna, game birds, or beef fillet with a red wine reduction. Serve at around 16–18°C for the best balance of aroma and structure. Decanting for 30–60 minutes is recommended if opened young, especially to let the wine open fully and soften its tannins.

His wines are sought after for their elegance, authenticity, and consistent critical acclaim.
