Château des Bachelards makes some of the most ambitious wine in all of Beaujolais. Comtesse Alexandra de Vazeilles farms old-vine Gamay (some vines over a century old) on rare granitic blue clay in Fleurie, certified organic and biodynamic. "Le Clos" is the estate's flagship monopole, a wine built for elegance and serious aging. The 2014 has had a decade to develop, putting it in a lovely mature window for a cru Beaujolais of real depth.

Antonio Galloni

94 points

"Brilliant ruby. Fresh and sharply focused on the expressive nose, which displays intense cherry, raspberry and floral qualities, along with a bright mineral overtone that builds with air. Supple and seamless in texture, offering concentrated raspberry preserve, bitter cherry and spicecake flavors that deepen and become sweeter on the back half. Shows outstanding clarity and spicy thrust on an impressively long finish featuring velvety tannins and resonating florality." —Josh Raynolds

"This wine comes from the historic walled vineyard around the Château des Bachelards in Fleurie. It is floral, dense and spicy, rich with pepper, concentrated spice and tannins. With its dark character and still-firm tannins, the wine needs more time, so drink from 2017."
