Tasting Notes
The 2014 Santenay 1er Cru les Charmes, matured in 25% new oak, has a very focused bouquet with scents of wild strawberry and raspberry. There is plenty of fruité here. The palate is vibrant, shimmering on the entry thanks to the silver bead of acidity; fine tannins and superb tension right the way to the composed saturated finish. What a superb Santenay in the making. 88-90 points, Neal Martin, Wine Advocate Issue #222, Dec 2015
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.
