Founded in 2005 by two brothers in their twenties, Domaine Bachelet-Monnot is still a relatively new winery, but it has already begun to gain worldwide attention. Initially unproven, they worked tirelessly alongside rising stars like their friends Vincent Danserre and Olivier Lamy, steadily building their reputation as a star.

All of their wines are excellent, especially their white wines, which have beautiful acidity and rich fruit, making them the "king of premium Burgundy." Their red wines are velvety smooth and well-structured. Their connections with Arnaud Mortet and Charles Van Canet further underscore the quality of their wines.

The vinification is done very anaerobicly to avoid premox, which is common among recent star producers and is probably the result of seeing many premox wines from the 1990s.

The Bachelet brothers have received acclaim from local media outlets such as Bourgogne Aujourd'hui and Ruvue de Vins de France, as well as international wine media such as International Wine Cellar.
The brothers, once called "the new makers who will carry on the future," continue to pursue high quality today!

Bachelet Monnot

A new creator who will inherit the future

It was started in 2005 by brothers Marc and Alexandre who rebuilt their grandfather and father's domaine. Although the domaine is based in Maranges, it has a very strong lineup of white wines from the Côte de Beaune, including Puligny-Montrachet, Chassagne-Montrachet, and Meursault. They first built a building behind their house to carry out everything from fermentation to aging. At that location, the wine is aged in barrels for a year and then left in contact with the lees for about six months in a tank.

Also, they usually allow the lees to be stirred until the malolactic fermentation is finished. It sometimes lasts for 1-2 months. The ratio of new barrels is modest, with around 50% new barrels used for Premier Cru and more for Batard and Bienvenue. By using soft, lightly toasted barrels, we avoid giving the wine an excessively roasted aroma.

The brothers attracted attention from the French media with their mellow and rich debut vintage in 2005. Looking at the evaluations over the past few years, they have shown steady improvement, and it can be said that this is a maker that we should keep an eye on in the future.
