Their technical approach centers on an extended 24-month élevage in large-format 456-liter barrels, a regimen designed to foster structural stability and deep-seated phenolic integration rarely seen in the appellation. Le Charmois, an east-facing site bordering Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Chaumées, features shallow clay-on-limestone soils that dictate a lean, mineral-driven architecture. To balance the 2023 season’s solar intensity, the Bachelets utilized a light crushing of the fruit to extract a structural, bitter-phenolic nerve that anchors the wine’s concentrated mid-palate. This technical decision, paired with the site’s naturally cool exposure, results in a wine defined by vertical tension, saline persistence, and a focused, chalky finish.","brand":"David Bowler Wine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47917813334264,"sku":"19716","price":105.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0709\/8001\/0232\/files\/IMG_3196.jpg?v=1770842870"},{"product_id":"2023-jean-claude-bachelet-saint-aubin-premier-cru-les-champlots","title":"2023 Jean-Claude Bachelet, Saint-Aubin, 1er Cru Les Champlots","description":"\u003cp\u003eBenoît and Jean-Baptiste Bachelet manage their estate under certified organic and biodynamic principles, utilizing slow, indigenous fermentations and an extended 24-month elevage to prioritize structural depth over primary aromatics. The Premier Cru Les Champlots is situated at a high-elevation site overlooking the hamlet of Gamay, defined by steep, limestone-dense white marl that dictates the wine’s lean, mineral architecture. In 2023, the estate’s management of generous yields and a warm late-season spike preserved a firm spine of tartaric acid, ensuring the wine maintains its characteristic verticality and tension. The resulting Chardonnay is defined by its fine-grained texture and saline persistence, showcasing a mid-palate density achieved through extended lees contact during two winters in the cellar.

In the generous 2023 vintage, this translates to a beautiful perfume of red cherry and crushed rose petals, underscored by a subtle, silty earthiness.
