The 2018 Puligny-Montrachet Les Folatières 1er Cru lacks a bit of delineation on the nose with apple blossom and light citrus aromas. Thankfully, it seems to gain a bit of stature in the glass. The palate is tight on the entry, good weight in the mouth, maybe with just a soupçon of botrytis, fanning out nicely towards the slightly creamy finish. I am not convinced about its longevity but I admire its concentration. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2018 white tasting. Neal Martin22nd November 2022

Rising Stars
Founded by rising stars Marc and Alexandre Bachelet in 2005, Domaine Bachelet Monnot manage 10 hectares of vines in the communes in Maranges, Santenay and Puligny-Montrachet. The focus is on traditional techniques, terroir-led winemaking - 50% new oak is used for Grand Cru wines, but employed to a lesser extent for Premier Cru and Village-level wines.
Key vineyards for Bachelet Monnot in Maranges are La Fussière, which they produce in both red and white, and Clos de la Boutière. In Puligny-Montrachet, Marc and Alexandre produce Premier Crus Les Referts and Folatières along with Grand Crus Bienvenues-Bâtard Montrachet and Bâtard-Montrachet.
