Made from old vines in Nuits-Saint-Georges and crafted with minimal intervention, it offers a pure, terroir-driven expression of one of Burgundy’s most respected villages.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMakuprofiili\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the glass, this 2018 shows a vibrant, polished ruby colour typical of a well-made Pinot Noir from a warm but balanced vintage. The bouquet is expressive and layered, opening with red and dark berry fruit, black pepper, herbs and a subtle floral lift.\n\nOn the palate, the wine is fresh, precise and juicy, with a mineral core, ripe tannins and a long, elegant finish. The 2018 vintage brings concentration and generous fruit, yet the lively acidity keeps everything in check, giving the wine both immediate appeal and solid ageing potential over the next 8 to 12 years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eViininvalmistus\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe wine comes from parcels in Nuits-Saint-Georges planted with vines averaging around 45 years of age, grown according to organic principles and harvested by hand to preserve freshness and aromatic detail. Vinification follows Philippe Pacalet’s minimalist philosophy: whole-cluster fermentation, spontaneous yeasts, no added sulfur during fermentation, and maturation for around 16 to 18 months in used French oak barrels. The wine is neither fined nor filtered, allowing the character of the terroir to remain front and centre.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRuoka \u0026amp; tarjoilu\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is a superb match for lamb, game dishes and mature cheeses, where its structure, freshness and savoury depth can really shine. Serve at around 16–18°C, and decanting is recommended if enjoying the wine young to help it open up and reveal its full aromatic complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTuottaja\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePhilippe Pacalet is a highly regarded Burgundy producer known for crafting authentic, site-expressive wines with a natural approach to winemaking.
