Domaine Denis Bachelet - Gevrey- Chambertin Vieilles Vignes 2021 (750ml)

Burghound 89-92 points
"A more subtle application of wood sets off the cool and super-fresh aromas of both red and dark berries, earth and more prominent sauvage hints. I very much like the texture of the medium-bodied flavors primarily thanks to the relatively fine-grained tannins supporting the suave yet tension-filled finale that offers better depth on the lingering finale. This fine Gevrey villages should repay 5 to 8 years of keeping."
Vinous 90-92 points
"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."
Jasper Morris 90-93 points
"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."
