Christophe Pacalet Chiroubles 2011
Chiroubles, Beaujolais Villages, Beaujolais, Burgundy, FranceChristophe Pacalet is the nephew of the revered biodynamic and naturalist wine pioneer Marcel Lapierre, and with advice and support from his uncle Marcel, he took a leap of faith in 1999 and opened his own boutique winery. He raises all his crus in neutral Burgundy barrels, employs minimal intervention and makes wines from various Beaujolais crus, expressing the distinct terroir. This aromatic Chiroubles is wild fermented using minimal sulfur and filtration. Beautiful florals on the nose - fragrant peony and iris - before a bright, textured palate of cherry, wild raspberry, summer strawberries, more florals and cool minerality. Tannins are finely powdered and the finish is lengthy.Tasted: 15 November 2015Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| BC | $29.50 | 750ml | BCLS |
