Denis Bachelet seems exhausted even just thinking about the 2021 season when I call in at his winery in Gevrey-Chambertin. “It was complicated with all the damage and climate,” he rues. “We had a lot of frost, and it was cold into May. The vines took time to get going, and then in June, they exploded as they tried to catch up. But I had lost more than 50% of the volume. There were only five cagettes of Evocelles. It reminds me of the frost we had back in 1981. On 22 June was the big deluge from the Combe de Lavaux that brought some hail, but it was too early in the season to do serious damage. June and July saw a lot of rain, and mildew pressure was strong. It was difficult to spray, though August saw some improvement. There was a lot of coulure, especially on the older vines that suffer degeneration [from the 161-59 clone]. I started picking on 18 September, and there were four days of harvest. The bunches were healthy, so I did not need to sort much. I did a little more extraction as the vintage was like one from the 1970s and 1080s.”
