Denis Bachelet Bourgogne Rouge 2018 (750ML)

91 DE / 87-89 BH / 86 JM / 88 WA / 16+ JR

Every single wine in Denis Bachelet's range over-delivers at it price point, none more so than this delicious Bourgogne Rouge from three parcels in Gevrey-Chambertin. Juicy, glossy and aromatic, with subtle, scented raspberry and wild strawberry fruit, fresh acidity and finely judged 15% new oak. Hard to beat at under €20 a bottle from the cellar.--Tim Atkin MW, Decanter

Tasting note: A notably ripe nose offers up notes of plum, wild dark berry fruit and plenty of earth influence. There is both lovely vibrancy and an attractive texture thanks to the abundant mid-palate sappiness, all wrapped in a sleek, complex and sneaky long finish. This is a first-rate Bourgogne and highly recommended for its level. Outstanding – Allen Meadows - Burghound

Dense purple, with hyper-concentrated deep plump fruit on the nose. Plump morello cherry, a little firm acidity, almost too much of a good thing, but less over extraction than in the past. Jasper Morris – Inside Burgundy

Aromas of cherries, berries, dark chocolate and sweet soil tones introduce the 2018 Bourgogne Pinot Noir, a medium to full-bodied, supple and succulent wine with a fragrant core of juicy fruit that entirely cloaks its melting tannins. William Kelley – The Wine Advocate

Blend of casks from Gevrey. Pressonnier and Grands Champs. Pure dark fruit. Juicy, almost savoury and still has lovely freshness. Dark, fresh fruit, ripe tannins. And a savoury, spicy finish. (JH) Jancis Robinson
