Old-vine Gevrey from a classic, elegant year. The Vieilles Vignes is Denis Bachelet's calling card, drawn from parcels averaging 75-80 years of age and made with the finesse he has pursued single-handed since 1983. The frost-reduced 2016 vintage produced fresh, classically proportioned reds with energy and clarity. Now maturing beautifully and set for a long, graceful drinking window.

"A perfumed and very pretty nose features notes of various dark berries, spice, earth and a hint of violet. The rich, naturally sweet and very round medium-bodied flavors possess both excellent mid-palate volume and outstanding depth on the well-balanced finish. As it almost always does, this boxes well above its weight for a villages level Gevrey."

"Bright, dark red. Very pure, fruit-driven scents and flavors of black cherry, blackberry, boysenberry and licorice; I visited this cellar on a fruit day on the biodynamic calendar and this wine was seriously exuberant. Offers captivating sweetness and thickness, not to mention good power and thrust, to its slightly musky dark fruit and spice flavors. A very suave village wine with supple tannins, lovely length and a light touch." —Stephen Tanzer

"The 2016 Gevrey Chambertin Vieilles Vignes was only slightly touched by the frost. It has a perfumed bouquet with black cherries, crushed strawberry, a touch of soy and undergrowth, again, quite complex, although I might prefer the vivacity and nonchalance of the Côtes de Nuits Villages. The palate is medium-bodied with silky tannin and hints of blood orange on the entry mixed with black cherries and blueberry, leading to a satin-like, utterly charming finish that leaves you begging for the next sip." —Neal Martin

Decanter

"A blend of several sites, but dominated by the Les Champs Perriers lieu-dit within the borders of Brochon - but entitled to the Gevrey-Chambertin appellation. This cuvée is very elegant this year, revealing a complex nose of red and black cherry, wood smoke, rich soil and a framing of spicy oak. On the palate the wine is medium-full, with a fine chassis of tannins, a gourmand core of fruit and excellent length and persistence."
