2023 Domaine Denis Bachelet Côtes de Nuits Villages, Burgundy, France

ABOUT THIS WINE

This wine is sourced from select parcels within the Côtes de Nuits-Villages appellation in Côte de Nuits, where limestone-rich soils and a cool climate produce Pinot Noir with finesse and aromatic lift. Though a regional designation, careful vineyard selection and low yields elevate the quality well beyond expectations.

The grapes are hand-harvested and meticulously sorted, with fermentation carried out using indigenous yeasts. A portion of whole clusters may be included to enhance structure and aromatic complexity. The wine is aged in French oak barrels, typically with a modest percentage of new oak, allowing for gentle integration of spice while preserving the purity of the fruit.
