Gevrey Chambertin 2021

The 2021 Gevrey Chambertin from Philippe Pacalet reflects the cooler nature of the vintage while showcasing his naturalist winemaking philosophy in this prestigious village.

The nose is precise and focused, offering bright red fruits and subtle dark berries, complemented by classic Gevrey spice notes and a pronounced mineral character. The aromatic profile shows remarkable clarity and definition, characteristics of the more classical 2021 vintage.

On the palate, the wine displays refined energy rather than overt power. The structure is well-defined and elegant, with fine-grained tannins providing subtle support to the pure fruit core. The cooler vintage conditions have produced a wine of particular transparency, allowing the limestone-rich soils to express themselves clearly. The finish is long and detailed, with pure fruit notes and mineral elements that continue to unfold.

This wine demonstrates both the distinctive character of Gevrey Chambertin and Pacalet's ability to let terroir speak clearly through minimal intervention, while capturing the more precise, classical nature of the 2021 vintage.
