The Producer
"Maison Réno, an estate based in ‘Les Pepites’, Chassagne Montrachet, Burgundy, is founded by the young producer Réno Pacalet. It premiered its first vintage in 2023 with red and white cuvées from seven appellations in the Côte de Beaune. Prior to the establishment of the estate, Réno had been already well immersed in every facet of winemaking. Amongst his diverse practical experience, Réno performed internships in Tuscany in 2014 - 2016, and also exhaustively understudied his father, Philippe Pacalet in their family estate. Réno is also well accredited with the BTSA viticulture-œnologie diploma.
Within the negoce framework, Réno makes decisions on harvest dates, and performs harvest operations with his own team. In the winemaking processes, he focuses on finesse and infusion rather than extraction. Réno uses only old oak, natural yeast and low sulfur in his pursuit of purity, elegance and personality in the wines. The current total production volume is at 10 000 bottles."
