We have followed brothers Marc and Alexandre Bachelet for some years since they took over at this 10-hectare Domaine in Maranges. A Domaine totally on track: from both improvements in the cellar buildings, to the pursuit of natural greatness in the vineyards. They even have three different types of grape press to respect every terroir. Pretty much organic, but like many growers they reserve the right to intervene in the vines, should the need arise. Wines that showcase purity of fruit and the vineyard sites. Notable as standard bearers for the relatively unknown Maranges appellation. For the whites, gentle pressing and controlled use of oxygen in the élevage of the wines is more important than excessive batonnage (lees stirring), resulting in exceptionally pure wines.
“The use of oak is more apparent on the nose here and is nicely offset by the density of fruit. The mouthfeel is so pure and smooth despite the power. Long finish, slightly saline- superb!”
