Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

Bachelet Monnot, Santenay, Les Prarons, Rouge, 2018

Again, a little tighter knit than the Maranges but offering more mineral kick than the Santenay Charmes. Firm, focused but showing incredible energy. Mineral-licked dark and red hedgerow fruits. Really intense and serious but with a generous, attractive side to it too. Very complete. Next to the Chassagne border, Les Prarons is situated just under Clos des Tavannes and is planted with 50-year-old vines.

Neal Martin, Vinous

The 2018 Santenay Les Prarons 1er Cru comes from limestone soils toward Chassagne-Montrachet. The domaine likes to mix young and old vines to obtain more complexity. This has an ebullient bouquet of red cherries, crushed strawberry and crushed rose petals. The palate is nicely structured, with good grip in the mouth, darker fruit compared to the Les Charmes and more weight and girth toward the finish. Give it a couple of years in bottle if you can.

Bachelet Monnot

Bachelet Monnot

In January 2005, after years of travelling France and the rest of the world gaining vital wine-making experience two budding young vignerons, brothers Marc and Alexandre Bachelet, set up this Domaine that spans 10 hectares over the Maranges, Santenay and Puligny-Montrachet communes. With a burning desire to work with nature to make the finest possible wines, Marc and Alexandre adopt a very natural, labour-intensive approach to wine-making. Soils are ploughed, vine health carefully monitored, herbicides are forbidden and strict de-budding is carried out to limit yields, whilst all grapes are hand picked at optimum ripeness. This Domaine is a rapidly rising star. 50% new oak is employed for Grand Crus whilst mush less is used for the rest of the range which, and along with using a mixture of larger-sized barrels alongside the traditional barriques, has been instrumental in eradicating oak impact on the flavour profile of the wines. The red Maranges is produced using a small proprortion of whole bunches. Form Bourgogne to Batard these are some of Burgundy's most brilliant wines from two of its most exciting young winemakers.
