Bachelet Monnot 2009 All The Young Dudes

“The Bachelets make wines that are classically styled, emphasizing the inherent freshness, complexity and minerality in each cuvée... This is a new producer to follow." Stephen Tanzer, White Burgundy Issue, Sept/Oct 2007

“The Whites are exceptionally fine.” Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy

"Domaine Bachelet-Monnot is quickly becoming one of the best white wine estates in the Cote de Beaune." Burgschnauzer.com

It has been a very long time since the wine world has had an outstanding new Puligny Domaine emerge from the Cote d’Or firmament. Thanks to the fresh faced Bachelet brothers we now do. This young duo not only have outstanding Puligny holdings where they are fast establishing themselves as a benchmark, they also make delicious Santenay and are setting new quality standards in Maranges, an appellation rarely sighted on our shores. Bachelet Monnot was only formed in 2005 but it has been cranking out the hits from the get go, with each subsequent release outdoing the last. In 2009 we have yet another collection of articulate, mouth-watering whites and remarkably lithe, savoury, fruit drenched reds. We have already had strong demand on a number of the wines which are now running low or have sold out. Some of clients clearly recall the 2008s only too well. Once you’ve encountered the tunes of the Bachelet boys, it’s very hard to forget them. Unfortunately many other importers from other markets have also cottoned on to the immaculate quality here, so we don’t get anywhere near the volumes we would like. We therefore expect what we have to sell quickly. The generic Bourgogne , the Santenay and Maranges 1er Crus all deliver wonderful value while the Puligny wines are simply outstanding. And Joel Amos?
