Tasting Notes
It's drawn from five parcels ‚– La Canière, Les Chênes, Les Benoites, Pot Bois, and En Journoblot ‚– with an average age of 25 years old. The note below sums it up well, a gorgeous village with pulpy fruit and a vibrant, citrusy energy. In the context of white Burgundy (and premium wine in general), this is a first rate value.
'The 2015 Chassagne Montrachet Village was stubbornly backward and tight-lipped on the nose, just a faint saline scent of the sea developing in the glass. The palate is well balanced with a slight chalky texture, plenty of citrus fruit with a subtle tropical edge, peach and Conference pear forming the finish, a hint of lemongrass on the aftertaste. This is a fine village cru from Bachelet-Monnot. " 88-90 points, Neal Martin, eRobertParker.com #228
Importer Note:
'Everyone is on the lookout for Burgundy's next white-wine star, , and brothers Marc and Alexandre Bachelet, who created this property in 2005 from their father's and uncle's land, are quietly making a solid claim. Their low-key winery is in Dezizelès-Maranges, at the southern tip of the Côte de Beaune, but their vineyards represent a great cross-section of Puligny, Chassagne and Meursault. Theirs is winemaking in the current, structure-minded style; lots of air for the juice, fermenting in larger barrels, finishing in steel. The wines have both character and precision, which is evident even in their village-level Puligny. " Jon Bonné,punchdrink.com
'Many of you will already be aware how much respect I have for Marc and Alec Bachelet who are doing wonderful things down in Dezize-lès-Maranges... What can I say? What more needs to be said? These guys are just making stupendous white Burgundy wines that rank alongside the best you can find, If you have not discovered the Bachelet brothers yet, it's time to do so.
