A regal Cru that has everything: elegance, perfume, body and texture. Situated on the picturesque hill, the Cru of Fleurie has volcanic soils mixed with sand. This mixture lends beauty and balance to this Cru. This Cru cellars well. Producer Christophe used to be a chef before becoming a vigneron. With advice and support from his uncle Marcel Lapierre, he took a leap of faith in 1999. He makes wines from the various crus including Chenas, Chiroubles, Cote de Brouilly, Fleurie, Julienas and Moulin-a-Vent as well as Beaujolais-Villages. He makes a few barrels of this and that. Tasting the various crus with Christophe is a study in the cru terroirs. He raises all his crus in neutral Burgundy barrels - an ancient and costly tradition that is a rarity in the region nowadays. There is something mystically mysterious and beautiful about crus that see a passage of time in neutral barrels. Christophe Pacalet’s wines have that ruby luminescence, elegance and joy that I associate with the crus.
