Histoire du domaine
Philippe Pacalet comes from a family with links to viticulture; the company’s website mentions an ancestor who was a winegrower as far back as 1780. Trained in the sciences, he obtained a degree in oenology and specialised in the study of indigenous yeasts. He then gained ten years’ experience as estate manager at a vineyard in the Côte de Nuits, identified by several sources as the Prieuré-Roch estate. In 2001, he settled in Beaune and founded Maison Philippe Pacalet. His business model is based primarily on harvest purchase contracts: the winery tends the selected vineyards, carries out the harvest and vinifies the grapes in its own cellars. The company states that it currently works on more than ten hectares of vineyards in Burgundy, although this area does not necessarily correspond to vineyards it owns outright. Philippe Pacalet remains directly responsible for the winemaking. The operating company is SAS Philippe Pacalet; it is chaired by SARL Financière Pacalet, of which Philippe Pacalet and Monica Marcucci-Pacalet are managing directors.
