Tasting notes
Bachelet's 2019 Côte de Nuits-Villages is shaping up beautifully, mingling notes of cassis, plums and cherries with hints of sweet spices and loamy soil in an inviting bouquet. Medium to full-bodied, fleshy and layered, it's concentrated and textural, with lively acids and velvety tannins. If there's a sleeper in the portfolio of this sought-after domaine, this cuvée—from the lieu-dit Queue de Hareng in Brochon—is it.

The 2019 Côte de Nuits-Villages has a pretty bouquet of pure morello cherry, cranberry and and wild strawberry scents. The palate is medium-bodied with tart red fruit on the entry, a slightly granular texture and touches of elderberry fruit on the piquant finish. Excellent.
Five or six parcels. Quite high up the slope above Brochon. Cask sample. Deep crimson. Very rich and lively. Perhaps not the most characterful, earthy wine but with lots of fruit and easy charm. (JR)
