Domaine Denis Bachelet
This for me is one of the best red wine cellars in the vintage. The wines lack for nothing. They have the finesse of the year. Colours are really deep and tannins are sweet, probably because of the hens and chickens (where due to an imperfect flowering grapes remain small and have few pips, giving a high skin-to-pulp ratio, hence the deep colour and sweet tannins) but yield is a third of a normal year. Vintage began on 14th September. Grapes were harvested at 11.5-12% and chaptalized to 12.5-13%.
