Bader – Mimeur is located at the bottom of the famous vineyards of Montrachet. Since the seventeenth century, the BADER-MIMEUR family has owned and managed vines in and around Chassagne-Montrachet for more than ten generations, especially in the Côte de BEAUNE. Charles BADER, Marie Pierette NIE and the son of PHILIPPE BADER, were wine merchants in “Halle-aux-Vins” in Paris. He married Elise MIMEUR in 1920, whose father, Charles MIMEUR, owned the "Domaine du Château de Chassagne-Montrachet". The name BADER-MIMEUR was born. The domain has been run by brother and sister since 2017; Sébastien Fossier and Nathalie Bernard. From the 17th century, the Bader-Nié family owned vineyards in Chassagne-Montrachet and the surrounding area, while Charles Mimeur, winegrower from the Maranges region, became owner of the Château de Chassagne-Montrachet in 1919. Since 2017, Nathalie Bernard and her brother Sébastien Fossier the daily management of Baeder-Mimeur.

Guide Gilbert & Gaillard 2021: "Pale gold color, sparkling reflections. Typically engaging nose, with accents of limes, field flowers, vegetal touch. A frank, full-bodied, generous aligoté, offering a nice tangy sensation. The fruit is crunchy, present, the finish very inspiring."

FACT: The Aligoté grape is a cross between the Pinot and Gouais grapes. For most people, white Burgundy is made from chardonnay. However, for some time now a relatively unknown, but typically Burgundian grape has been on the rise: called aligoté! This image began to change when a celebrity in the wine world managed to draw attention to aligoté. Aubert de Villaine of Domaine Romanée-Conti and his wife own a small domain in Bouzeron, a small municipality in the Côte Chalonnaise, just south of the Côte de Beaune. In Bouzeron, aligoté is the specialty!
