Château des Bachelards Fleurie Comtesse De Vazeilles 2018
About the wine:
James Suckling
Welcome to the delightful deep end of contemporary Beaujolais! Stunning nose of summer flowers, very fine red and black fruit with the merest hint of spice. This is simultaneously so deep and delicate, the serious concentration married to wonderful coolness. Really fine tannins make the long finish feel like old-fashioned velvet. From biodynamically grown grapes. Drink or hold.
Winemaker Notes
In 2018, the color is garnet with aromas of great elegance of peony and a hint of violet and of great length. On the palate, the attack is fresh and silky, of great distinction, the whole appears half-bodied, but with astonishing persistence and a lot of density. The finish is dazzling with purity and freshness. A wine that has class and grace. It is ready to be tasted, and will keep well for over twenty years. It is typical Fleurie chic version due to its extreme finesse and elegance.
