89-91 points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "Sweet and perfumed in the glass, Bachelet's 2012 Cote de Nuits-Villages flows across the palate with hints of tobacco, dried, flowers, licorice, mint and savory herbs. The lifted flavors play off the inherent richness of the year very nicely. In 2012, the Co?te de Nuits-Villages is pure class. Drink: 2016-2027. (Jan 2014)"
88-91 points Allen Meadows (Burghound): "(from 4 different parcels in Queue de Hareng that now total about .37 ha). This is also overtly spicy with a fresh, earthy and cool nose that consists primarily of dark currants. There is good punch to the suave and very round flavors that somehow manage to retain a good sense of detail on the attractively complex, lingering and well-balanced finale. Lovely. Drink: 2017+. (Jan 2014)"
90+ points John Gilman (View From the Cellar): "The 2012 Côte de Nuits Villages from Domaine Denis Bachelet is another classic example of the vintage that shows off very suave structural elements and a fine perfume of sappy fruit and great soil signature. The deep and refined bouquet offers up scents of dark berries, black cherries, grilled meats, a lovely base of dark soil tones, woodsmoke and a faint touch of vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied and quite sappy at the core, with lovely focus and soil inflection, fine-grained tannins and impressive length and grip on the superb finish. A very high class wine. 2016-2035. (Nov/Dec 2013)"
