Denis Bachelet described his young 2014s as “tender and feminine,” adding that he’s “pleased to have a year like 2014 that can be drunk earlier” He also noted that he intentionally reduced extraction in 2014 in search of earlier accessibility "The 2014s are exuberant like the 2002s, which have always been good to drink," he told me

Denis Bachelet told me that organic farming "already reduces yields by 30%," so hail or drought can easily result in a tiny crop. Still, crop levels were healthy here in 2014. Bachelet described his 2014s as "flattering, fruity wines--not too concentrated but very Pinot," adding that because the wines will drink early, they'll be great for restaurants. He noted that 2015 would be a more tannic, powerful style with similarities to 2005 and 2003, but said that at this point he prefers 2014 to the newest vintage.

Bachelet began harvesting in '14 on September 17, picking fruit with potential alcohol between 12% and 12. 5% and chaptalizing lightly. He told me that he does one pigeage per day until the fermenting must has several degrees of alcohol; at one time he did three.
