This is top-tier white Burgundy in a magnum, a large-format bottle that ages more slowly and gracefully than a standard 750ml, making it ideal for cellaring or a celebration. Brothers Marc and Alexandre Bachelet have risen fast to the front rank of Cote de Beaune whites, prized for precise, mineral Chardonnay. Les Referts is a premier cru sitting alongside the parcels of Sauzet, where clay-rich soils lend generosity and roundness. The whites are pressed slowly, fermented with native yeasts in 350-liter barrels, and aged twelve months in wood plus six in tank, without batonnage, for purity and length. A wine to lay down and reward patience.

"An even more floral-suffused nose speaks of aromas of petrol, crushed anise, lemon-lime and a touch of green apple. The medium weight flavors aren't as concentrated but they at once finer and more powerful, all wrapped in a bone-dry, precise and solidly persistent finale. As is usually the case with this wine in its youth, it could use better depth but that should not be an issue if given a chance."

"The 2023 Puligny-Montrachet Les Referts 1er Cru has a taut bouquet with scents of oyster shell and Granny Smith that need a little more vigor. The palate is well balanced, taut and fresh, with a fine bead of acidity and a more neutral finish than perhaps I would have liked. It is a little austere compared to its peers, but it should age well in bottle." —Neal Martin

More about Bachelet-Monnot

Alex and Marc Bachelet started their domaine in 2005 from a portion of the family vineyards. By 2011 they had acquired 22 hectares of old to very old vines in Maranges, Santenay, Chassagne and Puligny-Montrachet. They farm with sustainable methods that they describe as ‘très lutte raisonnée’, which literally translates as "the very reasoned struggle." In the cellar they are extremely meticulous with their use of sulphur, preferring to "micro-dose" when and where necessary and never at bottling. They use 350 liter barrels to avoid any overt "flavor" of oak spice and emphasize the super precise, mineral flavors and taught structure. Marc explains that the small doses of sulphur allowed him to bottle the wine with very little free SO2 and still feel confident they are well protected from the elements. The results are stunning: clean, pure, transparent and bursting with mineral energy. There is very little to no reduction on the wines, yet they seem to be built to last for many years.

From the Importer

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Worthy of a special meal: lobster or scallops in butter, roast capon or turkey, veal in cream, and richer fish. The magnum format suits a holiday table or a large gathering.

Tasting Profile

Aromas of yellow orchard fruit, oyster shell, and crushed rock. Balanced and taut on the palate, with luscious fruit framed by zingy citrus and fine acidity. Long, mineral finish; built to age.
