2024 Bachelet-Monnot, Puligny-Montrachet

Brothers Marc and Alexandre Bachelet founded their domaine in 2005, consolidating family vineyards in Dezize-lès-Maranges to build an estate now recognized for its precise, terroir-driven wines in the Côte de Beaune. This village-level offering is made from Chardonnay grown across four distinct parcels—Les Corvées, Les Meix, Les Houillières, and Noyer Bret—where vines average over 30 years of age in limestone-clay soils. In the glass, the wine presents clear aromas of lemon zest and green apple, with a stony, mineral-focused texture and a firm, well-defined structure. The 2024 vintage brings a fresh, high-energy profile to the fruit, emphasizing tension and classic purity over richness. This is a balanced, focused expression of its site that is ready to enjoy but also holds the structure to develop further in the cellar.
