“La finesse avant tout” – finesse before all things – is Denis Bachelet’s watchword, according to Jasper Morris, and indeed this is exactly what we experience when visiting Denis in his cellar in Gevrey. This man is the Pele of winemaking!
The domaine's modern style, which Denis has developed over decades, involves old vines (nearly always), destemmed berries, and the gentle extraction methods that have moved Bachelet into the genre of finessed, refined, supple wines.
Wine Advocate: 89 Points
Bursting with aromas of cherries, blackberries and sweet soil tones, the 2020 Bourgogne Pinot Noir is medium to full-bodied, lively and concentrated, with a fleshy core of fruit, ripe, powdery tannins and a long, flavorful finish. It's produced in tiny quantities, but it's a regional wine that punches well above its weight. (WK)
