Château des Bachelards
Comtesse de Vazeilles 2018
Fleurie AOP
France - Beaujolais
The terroir of Fleurie is made up of 7 hectares of plots of land in a single block around the château, which have in common that they are on the very old mother rock of pink granite, feldspars, schists, micas and quartz of a very fine grain which gives the wine a lot of subtlety.
Grape variety :
100% gamay. Old vines of Gamay in massal selection from 60 to 80 years old.
Gravity harvesting, 10% whole grapes, vinification in rough concrete vats, 28-day maceration, 12-month ageing in stainless steel vats and 500-litre demi-muids in order to preserve both its freshness and its substance, indigenous yeasts. No carbonic or semi-carbonic maceration, nor thermovinification.
Tasting notes:
The colour is dark garnet with great brilliance. The nose is very elegant with a fine palette of peonies and spices. On the palate, the wine is floral and of great elegance. It is complex, dense and long, relatively firm, with a splendid mid-palate and fresh blackberry notes of great purity. The finish is still restrained by a tannic structure that is not aggressive and is wrapped in a beautiful silkiness. This wine has great potential with an astonishing bounce on the finish. The whole is airy and without the slightest rusticity. Its great silkiness allows it to be drunk now, but it has the potential to be kept for at least a dozen years.
Wine style :
Delicate and complex red wine
Food and wine pairing :
Pigeon stuffed with morels, fresh tagliatelle and Isigny fresh cream. Black Bigorre pork chop roasted in hay, grilled with rosemary.
Ageing potential :
12 years in your cellar.

The other vintages of:
The Château des Bachelards vineyard was created by the Benedictine monks of Cluny around the year 1100. It is the southernmost monastic vineyard in Burgundy. It extends over 12 hectares, including 6 hectares in Fleurie, all in one piece around the château, surrounded by a walled area cultivated like a garden, to which are added parcels in Moulin-à-vent and Saint-Amour.
Alexandra de Vazeilles has been the happy owner since 2014. She has no family roots in Beaujolais and it is for her a choice of terroir as she ranks the granitic soils of Fleurie among the greatest terroirs in France.
The grape variety is autochthonous, it is a rare variety. It is a plural gamay because there are many varieties and ampelographic research is underway at the château.
The wines are doubly certified organic FR-BIO-15 and biodynamic Demeter. Château des Bachelards is the only one in the appellation and will remain the pioneer of biodynamic viticulture in Fleurie, Moulin-à-Vent and Saint-Amour. The soils have been free of chemicals for over 12 years and this changes the style of the wines. Standardised by yeast-raised wines on weeded soils, few professionals recognise the appellations of the Château des Bachelards wines blindly. They are characterised by the combination of the elegance of Burgundy and the greed of the Rhone Valley.
The soils are alive and so are the wines.
The estate does not practice carbonic or semi-carbonic maceration or thermovinification. It does not use any selected yeast.
The wines have their own identity and resemble only themselves, they are of the place.
Château des Bachelards Moulin-à-Vent
Nice balsamic nose, with grilled fruit. Ample, velvety and expressive on the palate, with fat, solar tannins. A deep and straightforward wine, solidly constructed....
Deep nose with mineral and fine red fruit notes, with a hint of menthol. Clearly toned palate with very ripe tannins. Nice spicy finish.
