Christophe Pacalet Fleurie 2024

Christophe Pacalet Fleurie 2024 is a vibrant and elegant red wine from Beaujolais, created by renowned natural winemaker Christophe Pacalet, nephew of the legendary Marcel Lapierre. The wine comes from the Fleurie cru, which is known for delivering some of the most feminine and flowery wines in all of Beaujolais.

The grapes are hand-harvested from old vines planted on granite slopes. Vinification is done using classic semi-carbonic maceration – a technique that highlights the freshness and fruitiness of Gamay while preserving the wine’s finesse and terroir. The wine is then aged in cement and steel tanks to maintain its purity and crisp character.

In the glass it appears with a deep ruby ​​red color. The nose is inviting with floral notes of violet and rose petals, accompanied by juicy aromas of cherry, raspberry and blackberry as well as a discreet spicy touch of pepper and herbs. The taste is elegant and fresh with a silky texture, lively acidity and ripe tannins, which give the wine both balance and depth. The finish is long, delicate and characterized by red berries and floral nuances.

Christophe Pacalet Fleurie 2024 is a wine that can be enjoyed young for its lively fruit and charm, but also has the potential to develop more complexity over the next 3-5 years. It is ideal for dishes with poultry, charcuterie, grilled vegetables or soft cheeses.
