A bit more flat and acidic than the last bottle. Still an admirable village level, but doesn’t rise above expectations as Bachelets often do. Surprisingly, it did open up a bit after 20 or so minutes in the glass (after PNP), with more notes of cherry and berry coming through, but that was somewhat short lived. I suspect it’s simply past its prime, or getting there. To be fair, this is probably an 89.5 but will give it an 89 given it is likely on a negative trajectory.

Drank from Coravin- effectively PnP’d. Another overachieving village level Burgundy from Bachelet. Agree with most of the comments below. Earthy, dark fruits on the palate and very enjoyable. A great everyday wine and a fantastic quality to price ratio.

Dark color, restrained nose some reduction, med- weight almost somber dark fruit though still vibrant from the med+ acidity, still some med tannins, on the simple side. A bit more mid-palate depth than one would expect for a Bourgogne in 2007, overall quite characteristic for Bachelet.
