Denis Bachelet is one of Burgundy’s most revered traditionalists, working tiny holdings in Gevrey-Chambertin with an obsessive focus on vineyard care and gentle, precise winemaking. His Vieilles Vignes bottling, from vines averaging over 70 years old, is a true benchmark for Gevrey—less about power, more about grace, nuance, and depth.

The 2010 vintage was a classic year in Burgundy: cool, structured, and built for aging. Now, this wine is reaching its sweet spot of evolution. Aromas of wild cherry, crushed violets, earthy sous-bois, and a delicate hint of spice and smoke unfold slowly from the glass. The palate is silken and refined, balancing ethereal fruit with savory mineral notes and incredibly fine, integrated tannins.

This is Gevrey-Chambertin in its purest, most soulful form—no flash, no heaviness, just haunting complexity and a finish that seems to echo forever.

Pair with: roasted duck, mushroom and truffle dishes, or simply a quiet, contemplative evening.

Professional Reviews

Burghound

BH 90-92

"A slightly more complex if similar nose adds touches of violets and plum to the aromatic mix before introducing vibrant, intense, dense and quite serious flavors that enjoy impressive mid-palate concentration as well as an ample amount of tannin-buffering sap, all wrapped in a lingering and impeccably well-balanced finish. Again, it's rare to see this level of quality for this particular appellation. In a word, terrific. *Outstanding*"

Antonio Galloni

AG 91+

"Medium red. Deep but reserved nose offers very ripe aromas of redcurrant, truffle, chocolate and mocha. Dense, juicy and youthful; needs time to expand on the palate, but has the integrated acidity and finishing grip to benefit from patience. I'd give this classy, lively village wine a good six years to express itself." -Stephen Tanzer

Robert Parker

RP 91-93

"The 2010 Gevrey-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes is bursting with energy and sheer verve. Firm yet well-integrated tannins provide the backbone for an expressive core of dark fruit. The wine gains finesse on the mid-palate and finish, but ultimately this needs much more time to blossom. I especially like the drive here. Anticipated maturity: 2017-2027." -Antonio Galloni

Jancis Robinson

JR 17.5

"All his wines have a little (convincing) earthiness on the nose. Very charming and concentrated and plush and fabulous! What richness of fruit. Tannins almost invisible. One of those village wines well worth a premier cru price." -Jancis Robinson
