TNs: Two red Burgs

First time with the wines from Regis Rossignol-Changarnier. Both bottles purchased as part of Mich@el Ch@ng’s recent offer on various daily drinker Burgs.

  • 2016 Domaine Denis Bachelet Bourgogne - France, Burgundy, Bourgogne (6/3/2022)
    Ripe dark black fruits, blackberries, black currant, plums and a descent use of new oak. On the palate; meaty, full bodied, and firm.

ABV: 13%
Closure: natural cork
Stem: Grassl Cru
Decant: 30min


  • 2015 Domaine Regis Rossignol-Changarnier Volnay Cuvée Camille V.V. - France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Volnay (6/3/2022)
    This was awkward on first open. Tart, acidic, disjoined. I opted to decant it for ~1h and what a difference that made. A nice reminder to take time with a wine that preliminary doesn’t strike your fancy; sometimes one’s impressions right off the date may not be everything to it.

Delicate red fruit with some streaks of black, raspberries, cranberries, tart black cherries, boysenberries perfumed with rosebuds and dried violets. Notes of iron-rich earth, worn saddle, morels, and sandalwood, alongside its velvety tannins help give the wine depth and structure. This grew on me quite a bit. Drinking well now, but quite a bit up upside potential here.

ABV: 13%
Closure: natural cork
Stem: Grassl Cru
Decant: 1h
