THE PRODUCER
Domaine Bachelet-Monnot, founded in 2005 by Marc and Alexandre Bachelet, spans
12 hectares in the Côte de Beaune, with key holdings in Meursault,
Puligny-Montrachet, and Chassagne-Montrachet, and premier cru vineyards like Les
Charmes in Meursault and Les Combettes in Puligny-Montrachet. The estate
practices low yields and biodynamic farming to ensure high-quality fruit that
reflects the terroir of each site.

In the winery, the wines are made with minimal intervention, using native yeasts
for fermentation. Chardonnay is fermented in a mix of oak barrels (20-25% new)
and stainless steel, with extended lees aging to add texture. For Pinot Noir,
whole-cluster fermentation is employed, focusing on gentle extraction. The wines
are known for their purity, balance, and aging potential, with vibrant acidity
and nuanced minerality.


THE WINE
Domaine Bachelet-Montrnot’s Puligny-Montrachet Village, sourced from 2 hectares
of carefully tended vineyards, is fermented with native yeasts in a mix of
20-25% new oak and stainless steel, followed by 12-18 months aging on lees. The
wine expresses a balance of citrus, white flower, and mineral notes, with bright
acidity and a touch of oak influence.

CRITICS SCORES
We choose our wines based on a range of criteria(seehow we choose our wines)of
which critic scores is justone. Rather than simply highlight the best score to
promote a wine, our average critic score is calculated from the scores provided
by several respected wine critics, who we follow for specific regions. They do
not represent all critic scores and, wherever possible, we try and give more
weight to more recent reviews. Where appropriate we consider market-based scores
like Global Wine Score or Wine Searcher Average scores.

As a rule, we look to offer wines that achieve a92/100average critic score or
better and frankly a lot of very good wines simply don’t make the cut. As a
high-end provider we want to reflect that positioning in the quality of wines we
offer. Such wines are only a tiny fraction of those generally on offer in the
market. We believe that an average score is a more conservative and
representative approach, but it is still subjective and only offered as a guide
to our customers, who will (and should) do their own research. We will add
individual critic scores to our website in the future.
