Philippe Pacalet is easily one of our favourite Burgundians, combining a wicked sense of humour with his own bold approach to winemaking that has placed him at the forefront of the Cote d’Or. What else would you expect from the former winemaker at the illustrious Domaine Prieuré-Roch?! We’re always delighted to visit Philippe in Burgundy and few winemakers are able to express the complex character of a vintage in such few words. His wines have reached cult status worldwide, remaining viscerally exciting and characterised by energy, intensity, authenticity, complex tannins and a “funky purity”.
