Domaine Denis Bachelet Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru Vieilles Vignes 2023 [NET]

Charmes-Chambertin is Denis Bachelet's calling card, the bottling that earned him the nickname "King of Charmes." From a tiny four-hectare Gevrey estate he has run nearly alone since 1983, this grand cru comes from old vines that give it concentration, depth, and a velvety richness rare even at this level. Bachelet farms sustainably and uses oak with restraint, letting the site speak. The 2023 is a profound, age-worthy Pinot that rewards patience; cellar it for a decade or decant generously if you can't wait. One of Gevrey's quiet legends.
