The palate, both supple and generous, charms with its silky texture carried by fine tannins.

The estate : Christophe Pacalet is one of those winemakers who restore the Beaujolais to its former glory. Established for over thirty years, he has built a strong identity around a clear vision: to produce living wines, true to their origin and highly drinkable.Rather than owning his own vineyards, he prefers to work closely with partner winegrowers, selecting grapes from plots renowned for their quality. In the cellar, the goal is to allow the wine to express itself naturally, with minimal intervention winemaking that highlights the fruit and energy of Gamay. From Beaujolais-Villages to the most renowned crus such as Moulin-à-Vent, Fleurie, or Juliénas, his cuvées stand out for their aromatic brilliance, finesse, and balance. These are wines that are both accessible and precise, offering a modern and particularly appealing vision of Beaujolais.
