Domaine Bachelet-Monnot

This relatively young domaine was established in 2005 by brothers Marc and Alex Bachelet along with their father Jean François and Uncle Monnot. Situated in the village of Dezize-lès-Maranges, southwest of Santenay, the domaine consists of 10ha of owned vineyards as well as a further 10 on long-term lease, covering the appellations of Santenay, Maranges and Puligny Montrachet. This is a star domaine on the rise. The vineyards are farmed organically with strict de-budding to reduce the yields, whilst the winemaking philosophy is very much one of non-intervention.

This wine possesses a magnificent weight with honey and flavours of nuts and nougat filling the palate. It is steely and tight with salinity and a racy minerality that provides great balance. A sensational wine this vintage.
Aged in 25% new oak 350 litre demi-muids, this is a very impressive 1er cru.
