what: domaine denis bachelet is one of the most important estates in burgundy. for decades now, denis has crafted honest expressions of gevrey-chambertin that often serve as benchmarks for the region. despite this success, bachelet has remained humble and pricing is still very much reasonable, despite the upward trend of nearly all of his colleagues and neighbors.
i still remember trying my first bottle of bachelet and being blown away by both the power and delicacy. after all, gevrey is a village known for its assertive structure (which also makes it one of burgundy’s beguiling), but denis masterfully treads upon the precipice of an alluring smokiness and couples it with a harmonious elegance.
this is a rarity and likely won’t happen again.
