Denis Bachelet is a boutique domaine that has created a loyal following around its small-production wines. Based in the village of Gevrey-Chambertin, the estate comprises 3.99 hectares of vineyards across different appellations. This Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru is made from very old vines planted from 1907 to 1917. The 2002 vintage is fully mature and drinking perfectly now. gorgeous notes of cherries, strawberries and potpourri, all embedded in fine tannins, great acidity and mineral undertones.

The 2002 Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru is an outstanding expression of both vineyard and vintage. It has a stunning, exquisitely defined bouquet with pure, ethereal red cherry and crushed strawberry scents infused with crushed stone aromas, later incense and potpourri. The palate is beautifully defined with filigree tannin, elegant yet delivering the concentration you expect from Bachelet's ancient vines. There is nigh perfect acidity here and it fans out in consummate style on the effortless finish. This is a gem! Tasted at the Gevrey-Chambertin lunch at China Tang in Hong Kong.

Magnum. Another stunning, fully mature wine. Perfect drinking now. Bright crimson with a pale rim. Lots of evolution and charming interest on the nose. Quite meaty. This was one of Denis' earliest plots and the vines are approaching 100 years old, having been planted by his great-aunt. Most attractive almost brûlée, bonfire nose. It was an honour to be able to enjoy this wonderful wine, made by Denis, who featured in the first series of The Wine Programme filmed by me in 1982. (JR)Jancis Robinson18th May 2019
