Bachelet Monnot
Bourgogne, Rouge, 2020
justerini & brooks tasting note
A really smart and polished Bourgogne rouge of great pedigree; half of this is declassified Santenay and Maranges, half is Bourgogne from old vines in the Hautes Côtes, aged in 20% new oak barriques - full of suave forest berry flavours and juicy pretty red and dark fruits.

86-88/100Neal Martin,Vinous
Racked the week prior to my visit, the 2020 Bourgogne Rouge is a one-third blend of Hautes-Côtes, Puligny and Maranges-based parcels. It offers vivid red cherry and cranberry scents on the nose. The palate is quite crunchy in texture, in a positive way, and well balanced with a fine bead of acidity. Touches of orange zest appear toward the finish. Very promising.
