Vintage Character The classic 2023 vintage in the Maranges Premier Cru appellation shines beautifully in the Domaine Bachelet-Monnot Maranges 'Clos de la Boutière' Premier Cru. This highly successful vintage delivered excellent fruit concentration tempered by vibrant freshness due to a warm and well-regulated growing season. Sourced from a prized 1.1-hectare parcel of ancient Pinot Noir vines planted in 1945, this historical vineyard sits on deep clay-limestone soils just south of Santenay, imparting an intense mineral core and exceptional structural depth to the wine.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing On the aromatic nose, it reveals a highly perfumed bouquet of ripe red cherries, wild strawberries, and crushed violets, accented by subtle hints of clove and forest floor. The palate is beautifully medium-bodied, boasting fine-grained tannins, succulent acidity, and a persistent, mineral-driven finish. Pair this exceptionally elegant red Burgundy with pan-roasted duck breast with cherry reduction or a classic French boeuf bourguignon.
Winery Background Founded in 2005 by brothers Marc and Alexandre Bachelet, the estate has quickly become a benchmark for purity and tension in the Côte de Beaune. The brothers focus on sustainable viticulture, meticulously plowing soils and avoiding herbicides. In the cellar, they employ a patient, low-intervention approach, utilizing longer aging with minimal racking to let the natural voice of this historical terroir emerge with pristine clarity.
