Vintage Character From the prestigious Bourgogne Côte d'Or appellation, the 2022 Domaine Bachelet-Monnot Bourgogne Côte d'Or Chardonnay showcases the brilliance of a warm and dry growing season. A warm, dry summer was punctuated by well-timed August rainfall, allowing the Chardonnay grapes to reach optimal ripeness while preserving their vibrant, refreshing acidity. This exceptional regional wine is sourced from a single 1.54-hectare parcel situated within the flat commune of Puligny Montrachet, where the classic clay-limestone soils impart a distinct, stony minerality and structural depth to the wine.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing On the nose, it reveals crisp green apple, Meyer lemon, and white peach, alongside delicate hawthorn blossoms and a hint of crushed almond. The palate is medium-bodied and beautifully textured, showing citrus energy, subtle light toast, and a precise, chalky mineral finish. Pair this white Burgundy with pan-seared sea scallops in lemon-herb butter or classic roast chicken with tarragon.
Winery Background Established in 2005 by brothers Marc and Alexandre Bachelet in Dezize-lès-Maranges, the domaine has quickly risen to prominence as a benchmark Côte de Beaune producer. The brothers emphasize meticulous vineyard work, including deep plowing and organic principles without herbicides. In the cellar, minimal intervention and careful oak aging yield wines of remarkable purity, tension, and terroir expression.
