Bachelet's Côte de Nuits is always one of the sweet spots in his impressive lineup.
 |
Typically, Côte de Nuits can be characterful, but also rugged and rustic. Bachelet takes the appellation to a nearly unimaginable level of textural elegance and ageability.
For me, it's the Côte de Nuits where I think the greatest value is in Bachelet's lineup. Year after year, this is one of my go-to bottles.
We are big fans of Bachelet's 2022s. They have plenty of depth while being bright, expressive, and joyful. We think that Burghound is spot on when he writes: "If you can find the Bachelet '22s, don't hesitate."
Even in the context of Bachelet's Côte de Nuits, the 2022 boasts an unusual amount of silkiness and refinement. It has a stony core along with a subtle soil-inflected minerality that's rendered with incredible precision. There are ultra-clear layers of red fruits.
Bachelet works on an elite level. The 2022 Côte de Nuits-Villages drives this home.

Burghound: "A pretty and expressive nose offers up the perfumed essence of plum and dark currant along with more subtle earth and hints. The delicious, energetic and well-detailed flavors culminate in a rich if mildly austere and sneaky long finish that is beautifully well-balanced. This is also very good for its level."
