    Domaine Bachelet-Monnot Clos de la Boutière, Maranges 1er Cru, 2022

    Free Delivery from €150 We aim to deliver within 2 working days.

    Medium to Full-Bodied Pinot Noir from the Côte de Beaune

    Good density on the nose, dark and almost jammy bramble fruits initially, then more streamlined, redder and fine. The palate leads with a pleasing crunch, a touch of chocolate-covered fruit and a graphite edge. Quite fine and a little spicy moving into creamy red fruits. Good drive and a long and fine finish. 

    Cellaring: 2-9 years.

    Food Pairing: Chicken Casserole

    STORY BEHIND THE WINE

    Its creation in 2005 followed a reorganisation of the Bachelet family holdings in Maranges, Santenay, Chassagne and Puligny-Montrachet. It was boosted in 2011 when Bachelet senior, suitably impressed with their achievements, handed over the rest of his vines to their careful ministrations. They now have 22 ha of which 8 ha are in the commune of Maranges. Many of the vines are old giving low yields which average 35 hl/ha. The estate is not quite organic but is ‘très lutte raisonnée’ (very sustainable) because the brothers prefer the right to perform treatments when absolutely necessary. The combination of those old vines and this careful management of the vineyards results in pure and concentrated fruit in the wines.They also adopt a natural, labour-intensive approach to winemaking.
