Philippe Pacalet Gevrey-Chambertin 2020

Rich and earthy start, with red fruit and forest whispers that set the tone. Cranberry and raspberry traces are present, but the whole bunch is more restrained than in other Pacalets. A mild black pepper and earthy subtle flavors add depth. A dash of rose and violet adds complexity. The aroma is highly appealing, with chocolate nuances also emerging. The crispness is dry, the tannins are ripe and still slightly firm, and the body is medium. The ending is long and satisfying. Overall, a very good quality wine with a lot of potential. Still young, and a remarkable return.

Young Gevrey-Chambertine, a wine that is often overlooked, proved itself to be a worthy addition to the table, markedly when paired with lamb and beets. After a lengthy decanting process, the wine revealed a rich perfume of forest berries and violet, with a concentrated and supple texture. A truly fulfilling experience.

Intense and nuanced wine with a deep, earthy character, featuring hints of ripe red fruits, earthy undertones, and a soft accent of chocolate, graceful by a savory finish.
