Philippe Pacalet, Chambolle Musigny 1er cru 2010

The Chambolle 1er cru is one of my long time favorite wines from Pacalet. The 2010 is most likely the best vintage of the Chambolle 1er cru so far. The bouquet is almost an explosion of very pure and ripe pinot aromas – strawberries with a hint of black cherries and raspberries. On the palate it ads layers of fruit and complexity to the village wine, supported by a bigget and more refined terroir. The fruit expression is a fascinating mix of strawberries and darker fruits. The wine is crystal clear and very precise. The crisp acidity and fine tannins promise a great future for this wine. Bravo!

(Drink From 2022) Very Fine – 93p
