A Burgundy fan who sparked a natural movement.
Philippe Pacare, which closely reflects the characteristics of the terroir, captivates Burgundy lovers. He is a famous producer with a brilliant career, having studied at Château Rayas and Leroy, served as the brewer at Prieure Rock, and received an offer from the D.R.C. to become the brewer. We continue to produce wines with a high purity of taste that go beyond the bounds of naturalism.
Natural Burgundy star with a spectacular career
Philippe Pacare is said to be synonymous with natural wine. The taste that closely reflects the characteristics of the terroir attracts many Burgundy lovers, regardless of the framework of naturalism. The head of the family, Mr. Philippe Pacare, comes from a Beaujolais viticulture and brewing family that has been in existence for generations. “Living in the world of wine” was a given.
While studying enology at the University of Dijon, he met Mr. Jules Chauvet, a winemaker and brewing scientist, and this encounter would greatly influence Mr. Pacare's subsequent winemaking. Mr. Pacare studied ``natural cultivation and yeast'' and ``soil and yeast'' at university under Jules Chauvet, who was a pioneer of biodynamic farming and was called the ``god of nature.'' After graduating, I worked for the biologic farming organization ``Nature Progress'' for two years.
After that, he trained at Château Rayas, a leading winery in Châteauneuf-du-Puff in the Rhône region, and Leroy, a prestigious domaine in Burgundy, to master winemaking. After his training, he served as the brewer and sales manager at Domaine Prieure Rock, which was owned by a co-owner of D.R.C. During the 10 years that Mr. Pacare was in charge, the reputation of Prieure Rock's wines rapidly improved. At the same time, Mr. Pacale's name became widely known around the world.
Later, this skill was recognized and he was offered the position of head brewer at D.R.C., but Mr. Pacare easily declined the prestigious offer. Aiming to make wine according to his own ideals, he became independent as Philippe Pacare in 2001. Mr. Pacale's wines, which have an illustrious background and reliable skills, have taken the industry by storm. It has gained fame as a representative of natural wine. Now, it is not only a representative natural wine, but also attracts attention both domestically and internationally as one of the difficult-to-obtain Burgundy producers.
