    Producer

    The Domaine Bachelet-Monnot vineyard is situated on clay-limestone soils, typical of the Chassagne-Montrachet appellation. These mineral-rich soils give the grapes a unique character, resulting in wines of great aromatic complexity. The vines, aged between 30 and 50 years, are carefully cultivated to optimize their expression. The region's temperate climate, with warm summers and cold winters, promotes a slow and harmonious ripening of the grapes, essential for the quality of the wines.

    Owner and history

    The current owners, the Bachelet brothers, have successfully combined tradition and innovation to bring renown to their estate. Their passion for winemaking drives them to constantly explore new techniques to improve the quality of their wines. They are also committed to sustainability, striving to preserve the environment while producing exceptional wines. Their family-run, artisanal approach is reflected in every bottle, making the estate's wines a true expression of their terroir.

    Vinification and aging

    Winemaking at Domaine Bachelet-Monnot is carried out with a constant focus on quality. The grapes are harvested by hand and carefully sorted before being gently pressed. Fermentation takes place in oak barrels, with a limited percentage of new oak, in order to respect the expression of the terroir. Aging for several months on fine lees brings complexity and roundness to the wine. This meticulous process allows the full aromatic richness of the Chardonnay to be revealed, while preserving a beautiful freshness.
