Region: Burgundy
Code: PULI041
Produced from 2 hectares of vines made up of 6 different parcels, each vinified separately. This is a very characterful wine, beautiful, fragrant with a touch of gunflint giving a spiky whiff that enhances the honeyed bouquet. The palate is tight and steely with a slate minerality, providing a perfect structure for the enveloping honeyed fruit. Quite wonderful!
This is an En Primeur wine and special conditions apply.

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 was matured in 20% new oak, using larger 350 litre demi-muids to restrain the oak character for 12 months, with regular racking and finished in steel tanks for 6 months prior to bottling.
