92 points Tim Atkin, MW (Decanter): "Denis Bachelet uses six different parcels in Brochon to make this structured, stylishly oaked mini-Gevrey-Chambertin. It always outperforms its lowly appellation, and the 2017 is fresh yet plush, showing notes of Asian spices, dark plum and liquorice with impressive focus and length. Drinking Window: 2022-2025. (Oct 2018)"
90-92 points Neal Martin (Vinous): "The 2017 Côtes de Nuits Village, which comes from vines located around Brochon, sees around 20% new oak. It has a very pure and generous bouquet with dark cherries, hints of boysenberry and light violet scents. The palate is medium-bodied with svelte tannin, perfect acidity, silky smooth in texture with a long and tender, pure finish. Simply, Côte de Nuits does not get better than this. Drink: 2020-2030. (Jan 2019)"

90 points John Gilman (View From the Cellar): "The 2017 Côte de Nuits Villages from Domaine Bachelet is also outstanding. The bouquet offers up a sweet and sappy constellation of dark berries, black cherries, espresso, woodsmoke, grilled meats, dark soil tones and a touch of vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is pure, full and very precise out of the blocks, with a sappy core, lovely focus and grip, fine soil signature and a long, modestly tannic and impressively complex finish. If the village of Brochon had premier crus, this would be one! 2018-2040. (Nov/Dec 2018)"
