Meursault 2022 3000ml
The 2022 Meursault from Philippe Pacalet demonstrates both the distinctive richness of this prestigious appellation and Pacalet's naturalist winemaking philosophy. The minimal intervention approach allows for a pure expression of Meursault's terroir.
The nose is expansive and complex, offering ripe orchard fruits - particularly golden apple and pear - accompanied by classic Meursault notes of toasted hazelnuts and subtle butter. There's an underlying mineral freshness that adds complexity and lift to the aromatic profile, reflecting both the limestone soils and the warmth of the 2022 vintage.
On the palate, the wine displays impressive concentration while maintaining energy and precision. The texture is rich and layered - a hallmark of great Meursault - yet remains precise and focused, with vibrant acidity providing excellent tension. The finish is long and detailed, with waves of fruit and mineral notes that continue to unfold, showing the natural glycerol richness of Meursault while maintaining freshness.
This wine captures both the generosity of Meursault and Pacalet's commitment to transparent, terroir-driven winemaking.
