This is the Bachelets’ first release from this highly regarded 1er Cru, which is a continuation of Santenay’s Clos Rousseau. The family has owned vines here for decades, though the parcel was too small to vinify separately; this fruit was previously blended into the village wines. From 2022, they have a new fermage agreement in place, taking the total surface to just over half a hectare, so a single cuvée is possible. The vineyard has a band of hard limestone under brown marl soils. The brothers experimented with 100% bunches this year, and zero sulphur was added until racking. The experiment was more than successful! It’s an intensely floral, seductive red with a delicious creamy texture and fine tannins. Again, next-level for the appellation and another bargain. 

Reviews

“The tightly wound black fruited bouquet unfolds in the glass with white pepper and a touch of bay leaf. The palate is medium-bodied with finely chiseled tannins, quite compact at the moment with a grippy finish suggesting that it will require 3-4 years in bottle.”
90-92 points, Neal Martin, Vinous
“A fine dark purple in colour. The bouquet has an exceptional energy, the vibrant dark berry fruit completely filling the palate. Spice and white pepper at the back, giving a drier note to the otherwise sweet fruit, then a whole cherry perfume right at the finish. Entrancing.”
