Château des Bachelards - Comtesse de Vazeilles
Château des Bachelards - Comtesse de Vazeilles sits in Fleurie, the most elegant appellation of Beaujolais, where granite-rich soils and cool northern exposure shape wines of precision and depth. The estate works primarily with Gamay, the region's signature red variety, which here expresses itself with the mineral tension and silken tannins Fleurie is known for. The flagship Fleurie Le Clos des Bachelards Monopole—a single-vineyard bottling—demonstrates the potential of the terroir, while a broader Fleurie offering and a Beaujolais Blanc made from Chardonnay round out the portfolio. Wine Enthusiast and Decanter have both assessed the winery's output, reflecting its standing within the appellation's quality conversation.
