Philippe Pacalet Nuits-Saint-Georges 2018

Philippe Pacalet Nuits-Saint-Georges 2018 is a highly expressive Pinot Noir that reflects both the depth of Nuits-Saint-Georges and Pacalet’s unmistakably hands-off style. Made from mature vines and crafted with a strong focus on purity and terroir, it offers a vivid, uncompromising snapshot of one of Burgundy’s most characterful villages.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows a bright, translucent ruby hue typical of finely made Burgundy. The nose is layered and energetic, with aromas of red and dark berries, cracked pepper, herbs, and a subtle floral lift. On the palate, the wine is fresh, precise, and juicy, balancing ripe fruit with a distinct mineral edge. The tannins are mature and fine-grained, and the finish is long and elegant. While already enjoyable with air, it has the structure and acidity to age gracefully for 8 to 12 years, gaining further complexity over time.

Production
The wine comes from parcels in Nuits-Saint-Georges planted with vines averaging around 45 years of age. The vineyards are farmed according to organic principles, and the grapes are harvested by hand to preserve freshness and aromatic detail. Vinification follows Philippe Pacalet’s minimal-intervention approach: whole clusters are used, fermentation occurs spontaneously without added sulfur, and the wine is aged for about 16 to 18 months in used French oak barrels. No fining or filtration is carried out, resulting in a wine that remains highly authentic and transparently expressive of its terroir.

Food & Serving
This Nuits-Saint-Georges is an excellent partner for lamb, game, roasted poultry, and earthy mushroom dishes, as well as aged cheeses. Serve it at around 16–18°C, and consider decanting for about 30 minutes to an hour if opening it young, especially if you want to soften the structure and bring out more aromatic nuance.

Producer
Philippe Pacalet is one of Burgundy’s most respected natural-minded producers, known for his meticulous, low-intervention approach and his deep sensitivity to terroir. After working with and being closely associated with some of the region’s most influential names, he built a reputation for crafting Pinot Noir that is both pure and highly individual. His wines are widely admired for their energy, transparency, and precision.
