FEATURES
The 2019 vintage in 布根地 (Burgundy) was widely celebrated as excellent, even legendary, despite a challenging spring with frosts. Domaine Denis Bachelet's 2019 Côte de Nuits-Villages is highly acclaimed, with critics praising its purity, precise delineation, and inherent grace. This cuvée is crafted from several plots in Brochon, including specific lieux-dits like Queue de Hareng, Vignois, and Créole, featuring vines planted as early as 1952. The winemaking involves destemming, fermentation with ambient yeasts, and aging for two winters in cask, with a quarter of new oak. The Wine Advocate notably considers this particular cuvée a "sleeper" in Bachelet's esteemed portfolio.

The bouquet is complex and inviting, offering pure notes of morello cherry, cranberry, wild strawberry, cassis, plums, and cherries, intertwined with hints of sweet spices and loamy soil.
