Charmes Chambertin Vieilles Vignes 2021 Domaine Denis Bachelet

Professionelle Bewertungen

Burghound (94)

Generous but not invasive wood still allows the perfumed aromas of anise, violet, earth and red and dark cherry to be appreciated. The old vines are very much in evidence as there is excellent mid-palate density that coats the palate with sappy dry extract and buffers the firm core of ripe tannins shaping in the wonderfully persistent finale. The impeccably well-balanced effort should amply repay 12 to 15 years of keeping yet be approachable after only 7 to 8. Excellent.

Three barrels only this year. Probably the lightest coloured Bachelet Charmes we have seen in a generation but none the worse for that. A medium density of strawberry and raspberry fruit on the nose. Kicks on charmingly and cheerfully at the back, fine fruit and lovely aromatics but could possibly use more intensity in the middle perhaps.
