This is our third allocation from the brothers’ Pommard vines which are located mostly 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 very pretty ‘Volnay-like’ expression of Pommard. There is also a quarter from La Vache, a well-sited vineyard that lies above Les Rugiens-Hautes, which brings the depth.
