Bachelet Monnot

“Alexandre and Marc Bachelet have been on fire over recent vintages…My budget would be invested in the outstanding Maranges premier crus such as Fussière and Clos de la Boutière that I strongly suspect will represent some of the best values over the entire of the Côte d’Or…and if I were a millionaire, I would still buy them. ”–Neil Martin, Vinous

“The 2018 tasting reinforced my view that not only is Domaine Bachelet-Monnot at the very forefront of white Burgundy production, but that they have made serious strides with their red wines too.” -Jasper Morris MW, InsideBurgundy.com

A very limited amount of Bachelet Monnot's new releases have just landed.  These arrive in minuscule quantities, and are some of the most compelling Burgundies to hit our shelves each year.

Based in Maranges, brothers Marc and Alexandre Bachelet have an embarrassingly rich selection of crus vineyard sites around the Beaune. Their first vintage was in 2005, and since then they have FIRMLY established themselves as two of Burgundy’s finest winemakers. I have been drinking these wines each vintage for the past few years, and the whites have depth and cut, Often with the power of Puligny and Chassagne with the cut of Chablis. While the reds interplay between bright and full of sunshine Beaune style to the earthy and haunting character of the famous villages to the north in the Cote de Nuits.

All of the white wines go through a long press before being fermented with indigenous yeasts in larger 350L barrels and are aged for 12 months in barrel and an additional 6 months in stainless steel tank before release. The comparisons to some of Burgundy’s elites make complete sense as the resulting wines are breathtakingly layered, racy, and achingly long. And like many of Burgundy’s best, the reds are of equal quality with an aromatic lift, grain and texture that makes them among the most compelling Pinot Noirs made in the Côte-d’Or today.
