Bachelet Monnot
Puligny-Montrachet, 2014
justerini & brooks tasting note
Stunning, classic pure Puligny. A lovely fine shape, demure and gently curvy with a fine mineral tension. Notes of citrus rind and lemon blossom, a dash of butter and honeysuckle. Very high quality village. From a fine plot on a slope called les Meix, near the Grands Crus, next to Enseigneurs.

91/100Stephen Tanzer,Vinous
Bright lemon-yellow color. Lemon and mineral aromas convey a light touch. Silky, suave and fully ripe; a bit sweeter than the village Chassagne but still quite classic. Best today on the building back half, where salty mineral and menthol flavors stain the palate and linger impressively. Marc Bachelet noted that he and his brother Alexandre made and aged their 2014s and 2015s in virtually identical fashion.
