2024 Bachelet-Monnot, Maranges Rouge Vieilles Vignes

Domaine Bachelet-Monnot is based in the village of Dezize-lès-Maranges at the southern tip of the Côte de Beaune, where brothers Marc and Alexandre Bachelet established their estate in 2005 using family-owned land. This wine is made from Pinot Noir grown in 40-year-old vines rooted in red clay and chalk soils across hillside lieux-dits. In the glass, it shows focused notes of tart cherry and crushed rock, supported by a structured, mineral-driven texture. The 2024 vintage favored a fresher, more precise style, lending the wine an energetic lift and clarity. With its fine balance and tension, this is a compelling choice for those seeking a vibrant, terroir-expressive red that will reward some time in the cellar.
