🏰 The 2019 Denis Bachelet Charmes Chambertin Vieilles Vignes Grand Cru hails from a hot and dry growing season, which led to a significant reduction in crop yield, down by 40% due to hydric stress. Despite the challenges, the harvest, which began on September 8th, produced wines of remarkable purity and finesse. This Grand Cru is made from exceptionally old vines, planted between 1907 and 1917, now well over a century old. On the nose, it offers complex aromas of cherries, cassis, sweet soil tones, bergamot, peonies, and violets. The palate is full-bodied, layered, and velvety, with a sumptuous and enveloping character. Expect exquisite definition with crystalline red berry fruit laced with iodine and violet, a harmonious palate featuring more black fruit than red, and a very saline finish. The wine is silken and deeply perfumed, with notes of black cherry, rose petal, forest floor, cocoa, and spice, supported by long, refined, fine-grained tannins. 【This Grand Cru is a benchmark expression of Charmes-Chambertin, crafted from century-old Vieilles Vignes (old vines) planted between 1907 and 1917.】 🍴 This exquisite 布根地 red pairs perfectly with roast squab or pigeon with morels, duck breast with cherry jus, venison loin, or aged Comté or Époisses cheese. 🥂 An ideal choice for a celebratory dinner, a special anniversary, or a serious wine tasting among connoisseurs. Its depth and complexity promise a memorable experience.
