Domaine Bertrand Bachelet - Chassagne-Montrachet rouge 2021
91/100
Bettane & Desseauve
"Chassagne-Montrachet at its best!"
This is a richly expressive vintage with pleasant aromas of wild strawberries, morello cherries, and raspberries on the nose. The palate is very chewy and reveals notes of spice and pepper. While still young, it is best to open it a little in advance so that the wine can reveal its full character and richness.

About the estate:
Bertrand Bachelet, a young winemaker who settled here in 2011, is at the helm of this 13-hectare estate stretching from Maranges to Pommard. Sustainable viticulture and the Royat cordon are the norm here, as are massal selections developed from the estate's oldest vines. The range is characterized by wines with ripe, intense fruitiness. The reds, which account for the vast majority of production, are vinified after destemming in concrete vats and have silky tannins, while the whites, without bâtonnage, offer roundness and juicy, honeyed orchard fruit aromas.
