Philippe Pacalet Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru 2008

The Year the North Wind Saved

Philippe Pacalet Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru 2008 · Burgundy, France · tasted 22 June 2026

2008 was the vintage rescued by a north wind — high in acid, divisive, a year to judge by producer rather than by number. In Pacalet's whole-bunch, low-extraction hands, that acid becomes the spine.
