2024 Bachelet-Monnot, Puligny-Montrachet, 1er Cru Les Folatieres

Brothers Marc and Alexandre Bachelet founded their estate in 2005, grounding their operation in the village of Dezize-les-Maranges with a focus on meticulous, organic-practicing viticulture. This wine is made from Chardonnay grown on the upper, limestone-rich slopes of the Les Folatieres vineyard, where the vines average 50 years of age. In the glass, it shows high-toned minerality with focused notes of lemon and white peach, held together by a structured, persistent texture. The 2024 vintage provided a cool, classic growing season that emphasizes this wine's natural drive and precise acidity. Its balance of tension and depth makes it a compelling choice for the cellar, though it offers immediate appeal for those who prefer a vibrant, energetic style.
