Description

Style


A structured and expressive Burgundy Pinot Noir, combining depth with freshness and precision. Elegant yet powerful, with classic Gevrey character.

Vineyard


Located in Gevrey-Chambertin, in the lieu-dit “Les Seuvrées,” on limestone and clay soils. This terroir produces wines with both structure and finesse, reflecting the balance typical of the northern Côte de Nuits.

Winery


Hand-harvested grapes, carefully sorted and partially whole-cluster fermented. Gentle extraction followed by aging in French oak barrels (partially new), enhancing complexity while preserving terroir expression.

Nose/Palate

Black cherry, red berries, spice, earthy notes, and subtle floral hints on the nose, followed by a medium to full-bodied palate with firm yet refined tannins, vibrant acidity, layers of dark fruit, spice and mineral nuances, and a long, structured, elegant finish.

Gevrey Chambertin

Gevrey-Chambertin is one of the most prestigious villages of the Côte de Nuits, located north of Morey-Saint-Denis and widely regarded as one of Burgundy’s great Pinot Noir appellations. The village is home to an exceptional concentration of Premier Cru and Grand Cru vineyards.

The vineyards lie on a complex mix of limestone, marl and clay-rich soils, with differences in altitude, slope and geology creating distinct expressions from individual climats. The finest sites benefit from excellent drainage and favourable exposures that allow Pinot Noir to ripen slowly while retaining freshness.

Gevrey-Chambertin is traditionally associated with a powerful yet elegant style of Pinot Noir. Wines typically show black cherry, red cherry, raspberry, violet and dark plum, with notes of spice, earth and savoury complexity developing with age.

Compared with the more delicate and floral style of Chambolle-Musigny, Gevrey-Chambertin generally offers greater structure, depth and concentration, while retaining Burgundy’s characteristic finesse. Its wines can combine firm tannins and mineral tension with remarkable aromatic elegance.

The village includes some of Burgundy’s most famous Grand Cru vineyards, including Chambertin, Chambertin-Clos de Bèze, Latricières-Chambertin, Mazoyères-Chambertin and Griotte-Chambertin. These historic vineyards are central to Gevrey’s reputation as one of the Côte de Nuits’ great terroirs.

Gevrey-Chambertin represents the powerful side of Burgundy Pinot Noir — structured, mineral and deeply expressive, yet capable of remarkable elegance and complexity with age.

Les Seuvrées

Les Seuvrées is a well-regarded vineyard climat in Gevrey-Chambertin, situated in the southern part of the appellation close to the boundary with Morey-Saint-Denis. Its favourable position and limestone-rich soils give Pinot Noir a refined combination of ripe fruit, freshness and mineral structure.

The site typically produces wines with red and black cherry, raspberry, violet and subtle dark plum, accompanied by delicate spice and savoury notes. On the palate, the wine combines a supple texture with fine tannins, vibrant acidity and a clear mineral backbone.

Compared with the more powerful and structured expressions from Gevrey-Chambertin’s Grand Cru heartland, Les Seuvrées tends towards finesse and aromatic elegance, while still showing the depth and structure characteristic of the appellation.

Its location towards the southern end of Gevrey contributes to a particularly attractive balance between the darker, structured character of Gevrey and the more perfumed elegance associated with Morey-Saint-Denis.

Les Seuvrées is a refined expression of Gevrey-Chambertin Pinot Noir — fragrant, mineral and finely structured, combining ripe fruit with elegance, freshness and excellent depth.

2024 Vintage

2024 was a challenging but promising vintage in Gevrey-Chambertin, marked by a wet growing season, frost and reduced yields. Careful vineyard work and strict selection were particularly important, while the warmer and drier conditions towards harvest helped Pinot Noir reach good maturity without losing its natural freshness.

The wines show bright red and black cherry, raspberry, violet and delicate spice, with a fresh, mineral character. The palate is energetic and finely structured, with vibrant acidity, polished tannins and a savoury finish.

Compared with the warmer 2022 and 2023 vintages, 2024 is more restrained and linear, placing greater emphasis on freshness, aromatic precision and finesse rather than concentration and power.

2024 Gevrey-Chambertin is an elegant and vibrant vintage — fresh, mineral and finely structured, highlighting the refined side of this great Côte de Nuits Pinot Noir appellation.

Domaine Bertrand Bachelet

Domaine Bertrand Bachelet

Domaine Bertrand Bachelet is a small, family-run estate in the southern Côte de Beaune, rooted in four generations of Burgundian winemaking. Based in Dezize-lès-Maranges, the domaine is led by Bertrand Bachelet, who took over from his father in 2011 and now farms around 13 hectares across appellations from Maranges to Pommard. 

Focused on elevating the lesser-known Maranges region, Bertrand works with a deep respect for tradition while refining a precise, terroir-driven style. The vineyards are farmed sustainably, with attention to old vines and careful parcel selection to capture the character of each site. 

In the cellar, the approach is classic and restrained, aiming for balance, purity, and expression rather than heavy intervention. The wines - primarily Pinot Noir alongside Chardonnay - are known for their elegance, freshness, and honest reflection of the Côte de Beaune. 

Production remains relatively small, with a focus on quality and authenticity, making Domaine Bertrand Bachelet a quietly rising name for those seeking elegant, terroir-focused Burgundy beyond the spotlight.
