Chateau des Bachelards Comtesse de Vazeilles Fleurie 2020

This continues to be the BEST Beaujolais producer we’ve ever found...and the wines keep getting BETTER!

97 POINTS!!! At this sort of PRICE?! It just reels the senses. This is an Empire Strikes Back-level sequel that has me shook...Château des Bachelards...the GREATEST. CRU. BEAUJOLAIS on the planet!!! Comtesse Alexandra de Vazeilles continues to defy all naysayers, and makes the world’s TOP gamay noirs – that score right alongside the greatest Grand Cru Burgundies, the rarest Northern Rhone syrahs – the BEST wines in the entire world – and she does it here, in the much-maligned Beaujolais region. If you think you know Beaujolais...THINK AGAIN! No bubbly, spritzy carbonic maceration here. No horsey, barnyard, root cellar flavors...just elegance, supreme power, layers upon layers of deep red and black berries and plums, intoxicating floral aromas, with spice and minerality to match, and a silky texture that your tongue simply won’t believe possible! 

For $32!?! This would be a must-have, cannot-be-missed wine at TWICE the price – easily. ORGANIC. BIODYNAMIC. Vineyards that have flourished since the 12th century, planted by the same Cluny monks that helped make Burgundy what it is today. They called this site “The Place of God,” and one sip has me converted. LILACS! Red raspberry and strawberries! Iron ore and spicy peppercorn, with this silky, chocolatey truffle sensation...WOW!!! Comtesse Alexandra has been at the helm since 2014, after training at top Chateaus like Bordeaux’s iconic Château LATOUR and Burgundy’s revered Domaine de Montille and Domaine Roulot (not too shabby)! In a few short years, she has performed MIRACLES – and aided by absolutely ACE consultant, Stéphane Derenoncourt – they are putting every wine drinker on planet Earth on notice. You NEED this! Even Monsieur Suckling is getting all poetic and romantic with this wine – it is just impossible not to get all googly-eyed and bashful after a glass of this stunner!

“Tasting this astonishing Fleurie is like watching the flickering of dappled shade on a hot summer's day with a gentle breeze.” – James Suckling

Ooh-la-la! We’ve championed these wines for years since we first discovered them at a Michelin-star restaurant in Paris on holiday. We were the first to bring them to the USA – back in their 2016 vintage, yet for the first several years, we’ve only had enough to feature them in marathons. But our connection in France knows how passionately we love these wines, how FIERCELY you Last Bottle faithful love these wines, and last year he convinced the winery to give us JUST enough for a proper offer!! The savvy among you have gobbled up every bottle we’ve ever offered...as you SHOULD!!! Fantastic, heart-quivering stuff that will age for a decade plus and never disappoint. 97 POINTS! ONLY $32!! While it lasts!!!

All offers this week will unlock FREE ground shipping on 2+ bottles. We’ll compile the week’s orders, and ship ‘em out your way beginning Tuesday 11/28…so you can build a case (or three) of glorious Last Bottle vino! Please allow a little extra time!

** FYI to Alaska and Hawaii: your shipping costs will be calculated by order volume at the end of the week.
