2019 Domaine Denis Bachelet, Gevrey-Chambertin, Vieilles Vignes 1x75cl

Wine Advocate 92

Bachelet’s 2019 Gevrey-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes has turned out beautifully in bottle. Soaring from the glass with aromas of cherries and raspberries mingled with sweet spices, licorice, rose petals and orange rind, it’s medium to full-bodied, velvety and layered, with terrific concentration, lively acids and a long, perfumed finish. As readers will remember, this cuvee incorporates the domaine’s holdings in Les Evocelles this year. [William Kelley, 02/01/2022]

85- to 90-year-old vines. 1.5 ha total. Six or seven parcels. Cask sample. A wild note on the nose. Sweet and perfumed. Very charming even if without the grunt of many a Gevrey. Contains the low-yielding fruit from Les Evocelles that he used to bottle separately. [08/10/2020]
