About Pommard, Philippe Pacalet Pommard 2019
Philippe Pacalet is one of the most prestigious and sought-after names in Burgundy, and his Pommard 2019 shows exactly why collectors chase his wines. This is a beautifully pure expression of Pinot Noir with vibrant red cherry, wild strawberry and subtle dark fruit tones. The palate is silky yet powerful, with fine tannins, forest floor, gentle spice and that signature Pacalet freshness that brings lift and clarity. The finish is long, elegant and layered, revealing more complexity with every sip.
2019 is considered one of the standout Burgundy vintages of the decade. A warm, dry summer produced smaller berries with extraordinary concentration, while cool nights preserved natural acidity. The balance between richness and freshness is exceptional, giving the wines depth, structure and ageing potential. For a producer like Pacalet, who prioritises purity and terroir expression, 2019 was an ideal year.
Pacalet works in tiny quantities and is famously meticulous, producing wines without additives and allowing each vineyard to speak for itself. His bottles are exceptionally rare and widely sought-after by collectors and Michelin-star restaurants across Europe. Pommard 2019 is a remarkable release from a producer whose wines are almost impossible to find, and a must-have for anyone who loves refined, expressive Burgundy.
