Domaine Jean-Claude Bachelet Bourgogne Pinot Noir 2017
"There is enough wood to remark upon framing the earthy plum liqueur aromas that introduce nicely rich if somewhat fruity flavors that conclude in a plump and succulent finish. This mildly rustic bitter cherry-inflected effort has the stuffing to reward a few years of keeping if that's your preference for Bourgogne." - Allen Meadows, Burghound
Domaine Jean-Claude Bachelet Chassagne-Montrachet “La Boudriotte” Blanc Premier Cru 2017
"A mildly toasty nose includes a hint of vanilla on the liqueur-like aromas of pear, apple and resin. There is excellent volume and power to the medium weight flavors that aren't as big as they usually are yet there is surprisingly good refinement on the balanced and solidly complex finish. This is really quite good." - Allen Meadows, Burghound
Domaine Jean-Claude Bachelet Chassagne-Montrachet “La Boudriotte” Premier Cru 2017
"A moderately toasty nose speaks of menthol, cassis, white pepper and earth. The caressing, rich and supple flavors possess a velvet-textured mid-palate that contrasts somewhat with the powerful and overtly rustic finish that offers a bit more overall depth. Note that at least some patience is advised." - Allen Meadows, Burghound
Domaine Jean-Claude Bachelet Chassagne-Montrachet “Vieilles Vignes” Village 2017
"A distinctly different nose is comprised by hints of pepper and the sauvage on the humus-tinged dark berry fruit aromas. There is a bit more distinction to the nicely energetic bigger bodied flavors that possess at textured mouth feel that carries over to the mildly warm and rustic finale." - Allen Meadows, Burghound
Domaine Jean-Claude Bachelet Puligny-Montrachet “Les Aubues” Premier Cru 2017
"The 2017 Puligny-Montrachet Les Aubues confirms its promising showing from barrel, delivering a lovely bouquet of white currants, fresh peach, lemon oil and almond paste. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, racy and chiseled, with terrific cut and concentration, concluding with a long, chalky finish. As readers will remember, this derives from a superbly situated enclave within Les Enceignères." - William Kelley, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Domaine Jean-Claude Bachelet St. Aubin “Derrière la Tour” Premier Cru 2017
"This too evidences moderate wood influence along with touches of menthol violet and poached plum. The mouth feel of the equally succulent middle weight flavors is both finer and bit stonier though a touch of rusticity emerges on the somewhat short finish." - Allen Meadows, Burghound
