Bachelet's Charmes is one of Burgundy's masterpieces.
It is among the rarest treasures of Burgundy. Allocations, even to major merchants in major cities, often come down to a single bottle. Bachelet's plot is a mere 0.44ha of very old vines. Bachelet makes somewhere around 180 cases.

For us, there's no better example of the Grand Cru than this. More accurately, Bachelet's Charmes ranks among our favorites in all of Burgundy.
Bachelet's Charmes is larger-than-life. When this wine is in its zone, it has few peers. It's profoundly complex, deeply mysterious, and insanely powerful, yet manages to maintain an ultra-clear, super-elegant balance.
Today, I'm happy to offer Bachelet's stunning 2022 Charmes-Chambertin.
As we've said before, we are big fans of Bachelet's 2022s. They have plenty of depth while being bright, expressive, and joyful. We think that Burghound is spot on when he writes: "If you can find the Bachelet '22s, don't hesitate."
The 2022 Charmes has an explosive complexity of dark fruits, smokey minerals, spice, earth, and floral notes. This is all delivered with incredible precision, finesse, and impact.
Bachelet's Charmes is among the rarest treasures of Burgundy. I'm very happy to offer a top example of this great wine. Please give us your ideal order, and we'll try our best.

Burghound: "Much like the Evocelles, the very pretty nose is quite cool and restrained with its broad-ranging panoply of aromas that include red cherry, violet, lavender and a hint of wood. There is excellent volume to the refined, intense and gorgeously textured larger-scaled flavors that possess even better overall depth and persistence. As is usually the case, this is a Charmes of finesse but with the underlying material and balance to age for years."
