Château des Bachelards
Comtesse de Vazeilles Fleurie Gamay
Fleurie, Beaujolais, Burgundy, France
My prior notes still mostly apply, though it’s mellowed a little and is entering the “drink up” stage.

Floral, with some darkness and bitterness on the palate. Quite a bit of volume and texture.

Stunning wine. Nothing like it in Beaujolais. Big cherry on the nose and also raspberry coulis. Stunning flowers like roses and violets. Minerals galore. Just stunning. 9.6 nose. Amazing fruit definition but the story is the intense minerality and how pure it is. So elegant and has a lithe structure. Tiny hit of opulence and dazzling purity. A baby now but an accessible baby. Genius wine. Structure becoming more apparent and the concentration is out of this world. Amazing.

Sep 30th, 2022Tremendous mineral nose, very concentrated and structured for Fleurie but with tons of floral elegance. Really shows on night two. Candied red fruit, a little brûléed.

Quite good and interesting to have a non lapierre style wine. Let it air. A bit “austere” in terms of wanting air for a Beauj but quite excellent concentration of red fruit. Second bottle of this hit have one more.
Addendum after an hour. This improved incredibly with some air. Proper serious Beauj. You could let this age for a few years for sure.
