Incredible seductive nose with dark ripe berries, some violets and soft forest floor notes. On the palate dark and ripe raspberries, blueberries, young cherries, lots of dried herbs and some soft oaky notes. Medium (+) bodied with a nice and perfectly balanced medium intense acidity. The tannins are silky and completely integrated. Fantastic fruit structure, quite modern style. Very sexy and seductive. Great overall complexity and a beautiful balance. The finish is super long. A fantastic wine which is getting into a good spot now. You don’t have to hurry, it has the potential to age gracefully for at least another 15 years. (IG)

- Wow, vibrant fruit, red raspberries, strawberries, you notice the precision and simply round and open from the beginning. - It has everything it needs on the palate. Still has a little too noticeable wooden influence, which could be better integrated. Whole-grape fermentation is also noticeable! Well made precise burgundy wine!! - 96P

this is nice to sniff, very laser-sharp red fruit aromas, overwhelming and intense strawberries, rasberries and red cherries, almost cooked. usually I dont like cooked flavours, but this was nice and elegant. i can find some wooden notes, but very very on the background.
on the palate very nice and intense, well made and balanced, elegant and feminine but still present tannins. this is rather modern and reminded me of meo camuzet on the frist sip, not very traditional.

After 30 min this opened up and showed tremendously. Oak spice, red fruit, earthy elements herbs and whole cluster. Very complex, may be a touch too much oak but the package works. Ripe fruit and good freshness. A grand Burg.

(TST) Complex aromatics - Flowers, ripe berries, hawthorn and a touch of forest floor. The wine is clean and focused as one can expect from Bachelet. It is supple and multi-dimensional while remaining slightly restrained, long finish. 93+

Bachelet's 2013 Charmes-Chambertin is dominated by cedar tonight, barely coaxing out some spice and cherry aromas with air. Plush texture. Possibly would have showed better with time in a decanter.

Opened at 2pm and served at 8pm. Beautiful nose with spice, stems, violets, coffee beans and dried flowers. So elegant and tranparent with alluring sweetness. Drinking well if you give it sufficient air but it will also age well. 94+

Flaske nr. 645. Servert blindt. Landet på Grand Cru fra Gevrey. Kirsebærrosa farge. Luftet på karaffel i ca. halvannen time. Åpen. Stilkete, men ikke rå grønn. Trodde det var whole cluster, men det var feil. Flott krydret kirsebærfrukt. Utrolig elegant og lett på tå i munn. Aromatisk «fragrant», meget fintunet. Rosa frukt med god vekt, kompakt. Delikat stil, men ultrafine tanniner kommer mot og i finish. Wow.

Décanter 2h avant le service. Le nez tout en fleurs et en petits fruits se révèle extraordinaire. La bouche est magiquement soyeuse et raffinée avec une énorme complexité. Aucune trace de bois ou de tannins... Vraiment magique j adore 96-97 Surclasse le millésime

VIAGGIO BORGOGNA NOVEMBRE 2014; 9/12/2014-12/15/2014: Barrel tasting. Altra marcia e complessità. Le parti sono più amalgamate tra loro, torna la resina di pino e la tostatura affumicata, ma al livello del Grand Cru si aggiunge la mineralità, sconosicuta ai fratelli minori. In bocca il frutto è sottile, ma molto gustoso, tanto eucalipto e spezie, tannino più fine ed elegante. Grande potenzialità e conferma il 2013 come annata di valore. 92-95
