Pommard 2022 3000ml
The 2022 Pommard from Philippe Pacalet demonstrates the structured character of this appellation while reflecting Pacalet's naturalist winemaking philosophy.
The nose is expressive and deep, offering ripe dark fruits - particularly black cherries and plums - complemented by subtle earthy notes and iron-tinged minerality characteristic of Pommard's terroir. The aromatic profile shows both the warmth of the 2022 vintage and Pacalet's ability to maintain freshness and precision.
On the palate, the wine displays impressive concentration while maintaining energy and definition. The texture is firm yet refined, with the characteristic Pommard structure softened by Pacalet's gentle extraction approach. The iron-rich soils contribute to the wine's natural power, while the minimal intervention winemaking allows the terroir to shine through clearly. The finish is long and detailed, with waves of dark fruit and mineral notes that continue to unfold.
This wine captures both the muscular nature of Pommard and Pacalet's commitment to transparent, terroir-driven winemaking in what proved to be an excellent vintage.
