Denis Bachelet Gevrey Chambertin Vieilles Vignes 2021 (750ML)

90-93 JM / 90-92 VM / 90-91 WA

Glowing fresh purple. A beautiful nose, very classic Bachelet. Light on its feet but with a sensual energy and just a little touch of pepper at the finish. This takes me back to Bachelet wines of the 1980s before they became so concentrated. Fine attractive red fruit finish. Drink from 2025-2032. Tasted: November 2022.-Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy

The 2021 Gevrey-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes has such a pretty nose that disguises the trauma of the growing season: ebullient redcurrant, white-tipped strawberry and light stony scents. The palate is taut and fresh, just the right amount of countervailing bitterness, with a lively finish. Just a lovely Gevrey.-Neal Martin, Vinous Media

Incorporating the domaine's holdings in Les Evocelles once again due to low yields, Bachelet's 2021 Gevrey-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes bursts with scents of raspberries, peonies, plums, orange zest and sweet spices. Medium to full-bodied, fleshy and vibrant, with melting tannins and an enveloping core of fruit, it's a pretty classic in the making.-William Kelley, The Wine Advocate
