Formed in 2005, Bachelet-Monnot is a relatively newcomer in Burgundy. The domaine was established by two young brothers, Alex and Marc Bachelet, who cultivate a combination of family-owned and leased vineyards, covering a total of 20 appellations. This release is their 2020 ‘Les Folatières’, a well-regarded premier cru vineyard in the Puligny-Montrachet appellation. A brilliant year for Burgundy, 2020 was the first vintage since 2015 to be equally strong for red and white wines.

Vinous
The 2020 Puligny-Montrachet Les Folatières 1er Cru initially has the finest nose amongst what turns out to be an inconsistent flight of wines from this climat. However, it seems to dispense with that after time in the glass and just lacks a bit of character. The palate is well-balanced with a fine bead of acidity, taut and linear. This is the most refined of the nine Folatières in the flight. It's creamy towards the finish. The 2020 improves in the glass, and I feel I initially underrated this. Neal Martin9th July 2024

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.
