Description
Bachelet Monnot was only formed in 2005 but it has been cranking out the hits from the get go, with each subsequent release outdoing the last.
The Bachelets make wines that are classically styled, emphasizing the inherent freshness, complexity and minerality in each cuvee... This is a new producer to follow." Stephen Tanzer, International Wine Cellar, Sept/Oct 2007
"The Whites are exceptionally fine." Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy
"Domaine Bachelet-Monnot is quickly becoming one of the best white wine estates in the Cote de Beaune." Burgschnauzer.com
2009 Bachelet Monnot Bourgogne Blanc
The Bachelet boys own 1.3 hectares of Bourgogne in Puligny (30 feet from the edge of the AOC). The vines are between 20 and 50 years old, and this wine is made in a mixture of old and new (roughly 25%) oak. This more than lives up to the standard set by the outstanding 2008. Really lively, creamy textured yet piercingly fresh, minerally and floral white. Very Puligny and brilliant value.
