Since their first vintage in 2005, brothers Marc and Alexandre Bachelet have refined their approach to farming and winemaking to the point where they are now firmly established as two of Burgundy’s finest talents. The whites 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. Their Puligny-Montrachet is a blend of six parcels in Puligny-Montrachet, fermented and aged in 350L barrels (20% new) for 12 months + 6 months in stainless steel. This is just a beautiful white Burgundy at the top of its category. Very lightly reductive with green apple, hazelnut, orange rind and a touch of cream.
