Domaine Bachelet-Monnot

The Bachelet family is very well known in the Côte d'Or, they own plots on some of the most famous vineyards in Burgundy. Nevertheless, the family had some disagreements about the way things were going on at the estate. The youngest generation, brothers Marc and Alex, did not panic and studied viticulture at university and did internships elsewhere in France and America. When they returned to Burgundy, their grandfather decided not to give parts of his land to his own sons, but to his two grandsons. From day one, both boys threw themselves into their new work with great dedication. 2005 was the first harvest year that Marc and Alex Bachelet worked independently. The gentlemen have in common that they are both enormous perfectionists and also very eager to learn. They continuously try to improve and perfect things at the estate and with every visit things have changed, from the size of the barrels, the duration of the maturation, to the temperature of the cellar. In addition to the great wines they make in the prestigious villages of Puligny and Chassagne, Marc and Alexandre Bachelet also make exemplary wines in Maranges and Santenay.

Sommy Pairing Beschrijving Deze Santenay Blanc uit 2020 toont frisse citrus- en groene appelaroma's met subtiele witte bloemen en een mooie mineraliteit, ondersteund door een zachte, licht geroosterde houttoon en een romige textuur die het geheel elegant afrondt. Door de zuurgraad en mineraliteit snijdt hij goed door vettere sauzen en rijkere smaken, waardoor hij perfect past bij gevogelte zoals geroosterde kip met kruiden, bij witte vis en gegrilde of in boter gebakken schelpdieren en schaaldieren en bij romige kazen zoals Brie of zachte geitenkaas; vooral bereidingen met beurre blanc, lichte roomsaus of gewoon simpel gegrild functioneren uitstekend.

Despite this, the family had some disagreements about the state of affairs on the domain. The youngest generation, the brothers Marc and Alex, did not panic and meanwhile studied viticulture at the university and did internships elsewhere in France and America. When they returned to Burgundy, their grandfather decided not to give parts of his land to his own sons, but to his two grandsons.
