2008 Puligny Montrachet 1er Cru Les Folatières, Bachelet Monnot

2008 Puligny Montrachet 1er Cru Les Folatières, Bachelet Monnot

Ref: BACH081
White  |  Still  |  13% ABV

Marc and Alex Bachelet have rapidly taken their 10 hectare domaine to the top of the Burgundy hierarchy. They work their vineyards naturally, eschewing herbicides. And they practice pre-ox for their whites, a technique whereby the pressed juice is allowed to oxidise before fermentation, stabilising the finished wine and obviating the risk of prem-ox i.e. the wine ageing prematurely. A domaine renowned for their electric white wines, do not ignore their reds, which are utterly delicious too. The domaine headquarters are in the delightfully-named Dézize-lès-Maranges, in the very south of the Côte de Beaune.

Tasting Notes

"My own contribution was white Burgundy. Domaine Bachelet-Monnot down in Maranges is one of my go-to producers, though I need more experience of mature vintages and so I poured a 2008 Puligny-Montrachet Les Folatières 1er Cru. Showing just a little ageing in color, it has a knockout bouquet that is surprisingly flinty for a 2008, almost Chablis-like, not far from a Vincent Dauvissat of similar age. The palate is beautifully balanced with finely detailed hazelnut, almond and crushed stone notes. It displays wonderful weight and length, a Folatières that just feels effortless and sophisticated. Bon vin! And unlike the Selosse, it gave so much pleasure." Neal Martin

Sweetness Explained
Sweetness Explained

Sweetness

All our wines are given a Sweetness Indicator from 1 to 5, with 1 being the driest and 5 being the sweetest.
This can be found for every wine under the Wine Details tab. 

Most red wines are dry and therefore are indicated with a 1. The sweetness becomes more relevant with white wines, sparkling wines and pudding/dessert wines such as Sauternes and Tokaji.
