2018 Domaine Bachelet-Monnot Pommard 'Les Chanlins'

Burgundy, France

In 2005 Marc and Alex Bachelet formed their domaine with the aid of their Uncle Monnot and father. Given the combination of exceptional vineyards, an excellent vintage, and the brothers’ attention to detail in the vines and in the cellar, the first release of the domaine’s Puligny wines garnered immediate recognition, locally as well as internationally. In the conservative world of Burgundy’s top communes, such rapid rise to prominence is as rare as it is telling. The brothers do the Côte de Beaune’s rising generation proud.

92 Points - Burghound.com. "A much more floral nose also seems to be a bit flat and lack the same freshness as the best in the range. More interesting are the sleek, delicious and highly energetic larger-scaled flavors that brim with minerality before terminating in a dusty, highly complex and wonderfully long finale. Assuming that the nose cleans up appropriately, this has the potential to be an excellent Pommard villages."
