| VM 87 (1/2018): Good dark red. Ripe aromas of black cherry and game. Quite powerful, almost syrupy Bourgogne with a saline character and serious tannic structure. This backward Bourgogne really needs at least another year in bottle. (Drink between 2019-2024). Stephen Tanzer. |

Charmes Chambertin Vieilles Vignes Grand Cru |

WA 94 (12/2009): Pre-selection and rigorous sorting appear to have eliminated any negative impact of hail in Bachelet's 2006 Charmes-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes, but with the result that this virtually always intense and well-structured wine from 80 year old vines is even more so than usual. Bitter-sweet herbal, tarry, and almost liqueur-like dark berry concentrates (cassis and black raspberry) - along with low-toned roast meatiness - inform a seamless palate, softer to the touch and with a more restrained impression of acidity than the old vines village Gevrey, yet still plenty of vivacious primary fruit juiciness. Hints of sealing wax and inner-mouth perfume of peony, heliotrope, and rose add intrigue and allure. Resin, iodine, and wet stone convey a sense of depth in the lingering finish, and speaking of "lingering," the empty glass smells so sweetly fruited and floral as well as intriguingly mineral that its perfume alone will seem worth the price of admission. "I was really concerned to retain acidity here," comments Bachelet, who professes to be less than completely happy with some of his wines from the ripest vintages. "I'm looking for a wine with vivacity and equilibrium," he adds, "not a California style." He certainly got a beauty, and you would be well advised to give any bottles 3-4 years rest before following for another half dozen or more.
BH 92 (1/2007): The recent bottling has caused the nose to become relatively reticent compared to the prior wines though glimpses of the beautifully complex, elegant, refined and pure red pinot and black cherry fruit aromas are visible. The sweet, supple and forward flavors possess notably good length and near perfect balance and the underlying structure on the linear and impressively well delineated finish suggests that this will improve for up to a decade, perhaps slightly longer. Drink 2014+.
VM 92 (3/2009): Good red-ruby. Aromas of black cherry, violet and bitter chocolate. Very rich and sweet but less open in the mouth than on the nose, with a strong dark chocolate flavor dominating today. Finishes supple and aromatic, with ripe tannins and smoky richness. Bachelet finds this much more accessible than the 2005 at the same stage. Stephen Tanzer. |

Gevrey Chambertin 1er Cru Les Corbeaux |

WA 94 (2/2014): The 2011 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Corbeaux has a hint of savory meat infusing the dark red berry fruit profile: pomegranate, cranberry and a sprig of bay leaf. This is very complex. The palate is medium-bodied with a mineral-rich entry, wonderful acidity and a long shimmering finish with brilliant tension. This regal 2011 should drink well over the next 15 to 20 years. Drink 2015-2028.
VM 91-93 (2/2013): (30% new oak): Bright red with ruby highlights. Highly perfumed nose offers scents of dark cherry, spices, flowers and pepper; a bit less black in character than the Evocelles. Dense, suave and light on its feet, with nicely integrated acidity providing excellent balance. Gentle extraction here has given this wine considerable early appeal. A superb example from this cool terroir, which features humid clay-rich soil.
BH 90 (1/2014): (also from 60 to 70 year old vines). This is notably more complex than the preceding two wines with its slightly sauvage array of red and dark berries, earth and plenty of underbrush and herbal tea nuances that are trimmed in noticeable wood. There is good punch and lovely precision to the supple and round medium-bodied flavors that firm up quickly on the balanced and attractively lingering finish where a mild touch of rusticity surfaces. The supporting tannins are ripe and well-integrated and this should age well. Drink 2021+. |
