The 20th century went out with a bang for red Burgundy lovers, with the 1999 vintage producing copious quantities of excellent to outstanding wine.
From the outset, the 1999 red Burgundies offered a rare combination of charm and power. Most of the better wines were balanced and alluring from the start, but they are evolving very slowly and still have plenty of life ahead of them. While many of the ‘99s I sampled with the producers this winter have gone through sullen stages in bottle, most of them have launched into their periods of peak drinkability. If you own these wines – and especially if you chose wisely at the outset – you will be amply rewarded.

My first visit in several years to this micro-domain (just 3.1 hectares) was well-timed, since Bachelet describes 1999 as "a reference year, the best vintage I've ever made. The wines have a tenderness but with a lot of structure. They're a bit like '96 but with less acidity." Bachelet began leaf-pulling in '99; with such limited holdings, this labor-intensive technique is feasible, he told me. Aerating the grapes, he continued, enabled him to get a bit more ripeness in 1999 and to avoid rot in 2000. Bachelet had no '98s left to show; Burgundy lovers with good connections may want to make early arrangements to snag a bottle or two of Bachelet superb '99 Charmes-Chambertin.
