Denis Bachelet’s charm manages to translate into his wines, which are quietly confident and incredibly refined. His motto is “La finesse avant tout” and it couldn’t be more apt. His small team works 3.83 hectares based in Gevrey-Chambertin, producing five red wines which are difficult to find but worth seeking out. Over the years, this address has become known for crafting some of the finest Pinot Noir in Burgundy. The Gevrey-Chambertin, Vieilles Vignes has a brilliant purple colour and a bouquet of vivid rasperry.

The 2020 Gevrey-Chambertin Village, which this year contains the measly amount of Les Evocelles harvested, has superb concentration on the nose with black cherries, bilberry and light oyster shell scents, all beautifully-defined. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins and is very pure and concentrated, maybe just needing a little more mineralite to come through on the finish. Give this 3-4 years in bottle.

Bachelet's 2020 Gevrey-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes once again incorporates his holdings in Les Evocelles, which didn't produce enough grapes to merit a separate vinification. Bursting with aromas of cherries, raspberries, spices and licorice, it's medium to full-bodied, deep and concentrated, with velvety tannins, lively acids and an elegant, seamless profile.
