Domaine Denis Bachelet’s Côte de Nuits-Villages 2022 is sourced from old vines planted in 1952 in the villages of Brochon and Vignois. These east-facing parcels sit on limestone-clay soils at 300 meters elevation, just outside Gevrey-Chambertin.

The wine is 100% destemmed Pinot Noir, fermented with native yeasts and aged 16–18 months in French oak, about 25% new. Bottled unfined and unfiltered, it’s bright, savory, and classically structured.

Modest - even humble - Denis Bachelet has been working at the family domaine all his life - his first vintage was in 1982. The farming is meticulous, the vines are ancient and the yields are very low. Every single grape is scrutinized. They have striking purity regardless of appellation and can age for a decade or more.

Professional Reviews

Antonio Galloni

AG 92
"The 2023 Côte de Brouilly Cuvée Mélanie, which comes from 70-year-old vines, has a lovely and well-defined bouquet with ebullient black plum and cassis scents, hints of crushed violet and a pinch of cracked black peppercorns. The palate is medium-bodied with succulent ripe tannins, fleshy and plush yet with real structure and a long, harmonious finish. Superb." -Neal Martin

Robert Parker

RP 90
"With notes of dark cherries, blackberries and graphite, the 2023 Côte de Brouilly Cuvée Melanie is an impressive expression of volcanic blue stone soil. The palate reveals concentrated, sappy fruit layered with enveloping chalky tannins. Linear and focused, the wine offers moderate acidity, creating a balanced structure with a long, mineral-driven, mouthwatering finish." -Kenna Wells
