2023 Domaine Denis Bachelet Bourgogne Rouge, Burgundy, France

ABOUT THIS WINE

This Bourgogne Rouge is sourced from carefully selected parcels across Burgundy, including fruit that reflects the finesse and structure associated with the Côte de Nuits in Burgundy. Even at the regional level, the wine benefits from Denis Bachelet’s meticulous selection and low-yield philosophy, resulting in unusual depth and clarity for its appellation.

The grapes are hand-harvested and rigorously sorted before fermentation with native yeasts. A portion of whole clusters is often included to enhance aromatic lift and structure. The wine is aged in French oak barrels, with only a modest proportion of new oak, allowing the purity of Pinot Noir fruit to remain at the forefront while adding subtle spice and texture.
