Tasting notes for the Corton-Bressandes Grand Cru 2017 - Philippe Pacalet
- EYE: A concentrated wine, with an intense and deep ruby red color. The crystal-clear clarity of the liquid attests to precise and attentive winemaking. Delicate purple reflections at the periphery indicate a dynamic youthfulness, while elegant legs suggest a velvety texture.
- NOSE: Expressive and complex bouquet. Aromas of red and black fruits, such as black cherry and blackberry, dominate, accompanied by subtle spicy and floral notes. Delicately integrated touches of vanilla and wood. Nuances of undergrowth and leather add an additional layer of depth.
- MOUTH: This grand cru captivates with its harmonious balance. The tannins, firm yet fine, provide a solid structure, while the lively acidity brings a welcome freshness. The palate reveals concentrated flavors of red fruits, supported by more subtle accents of cocoa beans and pepper. The persistent finish leaves a beautiful impression on the palate after the tasting is over.
In short: The Corton-Bressandes Grand Cru 2017 by Philippe Pacalet offers an optimal aging potential of 10 to 15 years. Ideal to accompany your most sophisticated dishes, such as beef fillet in crust, duck with cherries, truffle pasta, and aged cheese.

Famous Beaune winemaker
Philippe Pacalet is from a family established in the Burgundian vineyard. He began his professional activity with his uncle, Marcel Lapierre, precursor in research and defense of natural wines without sulfur. As oenologist at Domaine Prieuré in Côte d'Or, until 2001, he began to implement his non-interventionist approach, aiming for a respect for nature and winemaking methods without sulfur or industrial yeasts. He is still using those methods, since his installation in Beaune.
Philippe Pacalet rents for his activity 8 hectares on the Côte de Beaune, of carefully selected vines, and produces wines from more than 20 appellations. Manual harvesting, selecting only mature grapes, allow him to produce very fine wines of great aromatic purity and precision. The wines from this producer are also widely known for their sweetness and complexity, as well as their consistency between nose/mouth.
