From: Burgundy, France

Varietal: Pinot Noir

Critical Acclaim & Taste:

"A discreet application of wood sets off deeply pitched liqueur-like aromas of black cherry plum and a whiff of the sauvage. As one would reasonably expect there is better volume to the delicious middle weight flavors that culminate in a subtly stony and slightly warm finale. This too is really very good and worth considering." –Burghound, 89-91 points

"The 2018 Côte de Nuits-Villages bursts from the glass with notes of cassis plums dark chocolate and rich soil tones. On the palate it's medium to full-bodied melting and succulent with a textural attack that segues into a fleshy core of ripe fruit. This is an especially immediate vintage of Bachelet's Côte de Nuits-Villages which hails from the lieu-dit Queue de Hareng in Brochon a site that would surely have won the communal appellation had it been located in Gevrey-Chambertin." –Wine Advocate, 89-91 points

"The 2018 Côtes de Nuits Villages has a wonderful very pure bouquet of perfumed raspberry wild strawberry and pressed flower aromas that unfold with great precision. The palate is medium-bodied with a vibrant very focused and elegant entry just about perfect acidity and plenty of poise on a finish worthy of a premier cru. Yep – that good. Go buy." –Vinous, 90-92 points
