Vincent Bachelet's new vintages have just arrived, with his Bourgogne, Village and Premier Cru wines from the 2020 and 2019 vintages. Burgundy wines ready to win hearts and fill glasses, exclusively from Wine Terroir Importazione.
Vincent Bachelet: Burgundy wines and family tradition
It was in the heart of Chassagne-Montrachet that Vincent Bachelet founded his small winery, where year after year he has worked to bring out the character of the various Villages and Crus he tends. A few years ago, his children Aurore and Etienne began working alongside him, sharing in every aspect of running the Domaine.
However, 2020 is also the first vintage in which Aurore began to spend less time in the vineyard and the cellar, for a very specific reason: a project, a goal… which we will tell you about in a few days.
The 2020 vintage in Burgundy's Côte de Beaune: how it went
In Burgundy, the 2020 vintage, the first to be shaped by Covid in the vineyard too, was undoubtedly one of the earliest in recent years. The weather posed no major difficulties, and despite early flowering there were no significant problems with spring frosts (unlike in 2021).
Summer heat combined with infrequent rainfall caused widespread water stress in the vineyards, resulting in slightly below-average yields but with excellent concentration of phenolics and sugars.
The wines of Vincent Bachelet, distributed exclusively in Italy by Wine Terroir
In a vintage like this, defined by concentration and low yields, the wines that made it into bottle are rigorous and austere. The reds have structure and tannin, with depth and nervy energy. The whites have body and glycerol richness, with the influence of French oak playing off the ripeness of the grapes.
This is the kind of expressive Burgundy we love, and we are sure it will win you over too.
