Denis Bachelet is one of those very few winemakers in Burgundy whose wines have managed to achieve iconic status. This minute Burgundy wine estate, now reaching just 4ha in size of vineyards in Gevrey-Chambertin, has been run almost single-handedly by the magical Denis Bachelet since 1983. “La finesse avant tout” – finesse before all things – is Denis’s watchword and this shows in every wine he makes. His ability for making pure, graceful wines seems to be entirely natural and he exploits this gift to the full.
