This is a Bourgogne Rouge that consistently transcends its humble appellation, crafted by one of Burgundy's most revered and meticulous producers. Sourced from two old-vine parcels ('Pressonier' and 'Grand Champs') situated on the edge of Gevrey-Chambertin, this wine delivers a level of concentration and elegance rarely found at this level. The 2023 vintage is fleshy and giving, with a transparent, juicy impression of fresh red fruits. It offers up rich aromas of cherries, wild berries, and a touch of licorice, leading to a medium-bodied palate with a succulent core of fruit and a clean, mineral finish. It is a stellar success and a perfect introduction to the "finesse before all else" philosophy of Denis Bachelet.
