The 2008 Gevrey-Chambertin Bel Air bursts onto the palate with an array of dark red fruit, flowers, wild herbs and licorice. There is an element of unrestrained wildness that gives the wine much of its unique personality. Anticipated maturity: 2018-2028.
Philippe Pacalet is among the winemakers who compare 2009 to 1959. Pacalet works exclusively with leased vineyards across a number of appellations. Biodynamic farming and non-interventionalist winemaking are the rule. The village level wines were all bottled in December, 2010. I tasted the rest of the 2009s from barrel. I also had a chance to sample a selection of 2008s. Based on the wines I tasted, 2008 looks like a very interesting vintage here as well.
