     The 2020 Monthélie Château Gaillard Premier Cru Blanc from Philippe Pacalet demonstrates the hidden potential of this lesser-known premier cru while reflecting Pacalet's minimal intervention approach.

    The nose is fresh and precise, offering bright citrus and stone fruits, accompanied by subtle floral notes and a pronounced mineral character that speaks to the site's limestone-rich soils. The aromatic profile shows both the ripeness of the warm 2020 vintage and Pacalet's ability to maintain freshness.

    On the palate, the wine displays good concentration while maintaining energy and precision. The texture is focused and detailed, with vibrant acidity providing excellent tension. The warmth of 2020 has brought welcome richness while preserving terroir transparency. The finish is long and mineral-driven, with citrus and stone fruit notes carrying through.

    This wine demonstrates both the quality potential of Monthélie's terroir for white wines and Pacalet's commitment to allowing natural expression through minimal intervention winemaking.
