This is our second allocation from the brothers’ Pommard which mostly hails from vines in Chanlins, a village lieu-dit that lies just above the Premier Cru of the same name on the Volnay border. The 0.25-hectare parcel of 40-year-old vines comes from Alex and Marc Bachelet’s father, who sold the fruit to négociants until 2011. At 400 metres, it’s one of the highest and steepest vineyards of the Côte de Beaune, which, along with the stony, chalk-rich soils, results in a pretty and mid-weighted ‘Volnay expression’ of Pommard. There is also a quarter from La Vache, a well sited vineyard that lies above Les Rugiens-Hautes, the wine fermented with 50% bunches and was raised with 30% new oak barrels.

Bachelet-Monnot Pommard 2023

Reviews

“The 2023 Pommard Village includes 50% whole bunch. It has an understated bouquet with brambly red fruit and touches of bay leaf and undergrowth. The palate leans more toward black fruit, with gentle grip and a rounded texture, finishing fleshy and quite Volnay-like. This will drink earlier than the other cuvées.”
89-91 points, Neal Martin, Vinous
“Chanlins makes up two thirds of this cuvee with one third from La Vache (since 2022). 50% whole bunch vinification, while a bit more new wood (one third) has been used as they feel Pommard merits it. Mid purple, the fruit slightly more subdued though there is obviously plenty of it beneath. Certainly, the deep red raspberry fruit fills out the middle of the palate, with softly managed tannins at the finish. Drink from 2027-2032.”
