Meursault Limozin 2022
The 2022 Meursault "Limozin" from Philippe Pacalet exemplifies the richness of this well-positioned lieu-dit while showcasing Pacalet's naturalist winemaking philosophy.
The nose is complex and refined, offering ripe orchard fruits - particularly golden apple and white peach - complemented by classic Meursault notes of toasted hazelnuts and subtle butter. A pronounced mineral character adds lift and precision, reflecting both the limestone soils and Pacalet's minimal intervention approach.
On the palate, the wine displays impressive concentration while maintaining energy and precision. The texture shows the natural richness Meursault is known for, yet remains focused and detailed. The warmth of 2022 has brought beautiful ripeness while preserving terroir transparency and freshness. The finish is long and detailed, with waves of fruit, nutty notes, and mineral elements that continue to unfold.
This wine brilliantly captures both the generous nature of Meursault Limozin and Pacalet's commitment to allowing terroir expression through minimal intervention in what proved to be an excellent vintage.
