Rather a disappointing bottle. The trademark purity of this producer was accompanied by a rather hard, iron-filings streak. Not charming. Perhaps we should have headed for his Charmes?! (JR)

The 2012 Bourgogne comes from two parcels in “Les Pressonnier” and “Les Grand Champs” and sees no new oak. It has a captivating bouquet of brambly black fruit that is very well defined. The palate is well balanced with sappy black fruit on the entry, nicely judged acidity and a natural, pastille-like finish. This is uncomplicated but astutely crafted, downright delicious Burgundy.
A great introduction to the vintage here, Bachelet's 2012 Bourgogne is endowed with superb depth and purity in its class. Red stone fruits, plums, spices, menthol and licorice inform this striking, expressive beauty. There is a surprising amount of structure for a Bourgogne.
Blend of casks from Gevrey, east of the RN74 and south of the cave. Lots of exuberant fruit and quite firm muscles. A hint of coffee grounds again! Lots of toffee. Nothing thin about this! A bit tough on the end. Sightly fast fade. (JR)
