Some notes on a nice lineup of wines last night with my Berserker neighbor @Steve_McL who played host. Nice to have just a few good wines to slowly work through over the course of a night/meal. The Bachelet CC was really showing off last night. Much better than the '08 and '09 we had last year.
- 2015 Domaine Denis Bachelet Charmes-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes - France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru (6/13/2025)
Can't ask for much more from Charmes Chambertin. Bachelet is the king here for a reason. Gorgeous bottle of wine. Super silky- sexy- red fruits in waves. Pedigree. Absolutely purity. Oak has mostly integrated. Youthful, but open. Not tertiary yet, but that's ok. So Fine. ) - 2015 Guffens-Heynen Mâcon-Pierreclos Premier Jus de Chavigne - France, Burgundy, Mâconnais, Mâcon-Pierreclos (6/13/2025)
Youthful yellow hue. Flinty- slight matchstick nose. Like GH can be- this is uber rich and detailed- tropical fruit - mouth-coating glycerin/viscosity- this wine is not a wallflower. it gets everyone's attention with a 'whoa what is this?' i don't know that it screams burgundian typicity, but it is quite a ride. Still young with a lot of power in reserve. JMGH is a wizard. - 2021 Hubert Lignier Gevrey-Chambertin Les Seuvrées - France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Gevrey-Chambertin (6/13/2025)
Still showing it's youth, perhaps shutting down a bit. Fresh berry, a bit of licorice. 21s not showing the solar fruit as young '22s for me right now. Good length, it's a well-made wine with great textures and balance. Needs time. - 2022 Domaine Denis Bachelet Gevrey-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes - France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Gevrey-Chambertin (6/13/2025)
An oops bottle, opened by mistake, but quite a joy. I love where the shiny 22 fruit is right now. Fleshy cherry and sweet spice. So easy to drink. Silky. Some saline on the palate and finish. Very fine village wine.
