Nice ruby colour. Lovely expressive nose of red cherries, red currants, raspberries, some tobacco and spices, some warm earth, typical Gevrey. Some tasters thought the bouquet New Worldish pinot. Sweetish, velvety entry to the palate then the prominent acidity hits. CT

Denis Bachelet’s 2007 Charmes-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes Grand Cru is lovely, bursting from the glass with a lovely bouquet of creamy wild berries, wood smoke, rich soil and a classy framing of new oak. On the palate, the wine is ample, generous and quite structurally open-knit, with a cool core of fruit, a textural attack and sneaky persistence on the finish. - WA
