Bachelet-Monnot
Domaine Bachelet-Monnot is a prestigious wine producer located in the heart of Burgundy, France. This family-owned estate has been crafting exceptional wines for over three generations, with a focus on traditional winemaking methods that showcase the unique characteristics of the region.
The Bachelet-Monnot domaine was founded in 1995 by brothers Marc and Alexandre Bachelet, who inherited their family's vineyards and decided to start their own winery. The domaine has since expanded to include 13 hectares of vines spread across some of the most renowned appellations in Burgundy, including Puligny-Montrachet, Chassagne-Montrachet, and Saint-Aubin.
The brothers are committed to sustainable and environmentally-friendly practices, using organic and biodynamic methods in their vineyards. This attention to detail and respect for the land is reflected in their wines, which are known for their elegance, balance, and purity.
One of the standout wines from Domaine Bachelet-Monnot is their Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru "Les Folatières". This single-vineyard wine is made from 100% Chardonnay grapes and is a prime example of the domaine's commitment to quality. It is a complex and rich wine with a beautiful minerality and a long, lingering finish.
Another gem from the estate is their Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru "La Boudriotte". This wine is a blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, showcasing the diversity of the Bachelet-Monnot vineyards. It is a well-structured and elegant wine with notes of red berries, spices, and a touch of oak.
In addition to their renowned white wines, Domaine Bachelet-Monnot also produces exceptional red wines. Their Bourgogne Rouge is a great entry-level wine that offers a taste of Burgundy at an affordable price.
Bachelet-Monnot
Bachelet-Monnot is a domaine based in Burgundy, producing white wines from Puligny-Montrachet, one of the Côte de Beaune's most celebrated appellations. The estate works with Chardonnay, the grape variety that defines white Burgundy at every level from village to grand cru.
Puligny-Montrachet sits at the southern end of the Côte d'Or and is widely regarded as the benchmark appellation for dry white Burgundy. Its soils are predominantly limestone and clay, producing Chardonnay wines that tend toward minerality, precision, and restrained richness rather than overt fruitiness. The village appellation itself offers wines that reflect these characteristics in a more accessible register than the premier and grand cru vineyards that surround it, while still showing the structural clarity typical of the commune.
The current range includes a village-level Puligny-Montrachet from the 2023 vintage, a year that saw warm, dry conditions across much of Burgundy, with harvest arriving earlier than historical averages. Village Puligny-Montrachet is vinified from Chardonnay grown within the commune's boundaries but outside the classified vineyard sites, making it a genuine introduction to the appellation's character.
