Vinous (93)The 2018 Puligny-Montrachet Les Folatières 1er Cru is still backward and reticent on the nose, gunflint and light smoky aromas gently unfold from the glass. The palate is well balanced with fine acidity, a little more weighty than expected with touches of apricot and quince towards the citrus-fresh finish that leaves a residue of spice on the tongue. Excellent. |

Vinous (92-94)The 2019 Puligny-Montrachet Les Folatières 1er Cru displays more mineral tension and energy on the nose compared to the Le Referts. It is very focused with wet limestone, apple blossom and a touch of blackcurrant leaf. The palate is well balanced with a touch of white chocolate on the entry, more expressive and deeper than the Les Referts with more tension and terroir expression on the finish. Excellent. |

Vinous - Neal Martin (92)The 2021 Puligny-Montrachet Les Referts 1er Cru clearly has some reduction on the nose although, unlike some others, this seems proportionate and not fixed. It does not detract from the freshness or delineation. The palate is taut and fresh on the entry. Again, predictably, there is some reduction but it feels complete and full with impressive weight and depth on the finish. Tuck this away for a couple of years - there is promise here. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting. |

Vinous - Neal Martin (95)The 2022 Puligny-Montrachet Les Referts 1er Cru has a classy bouquet that shrugs off the warmth of the growing season to deliver scents of Granny Smiths, wet stone and a very faint touch of peach. Wonderful definition. The palate is well balanced with a slightly richer entry, but there is superb grip and backbone behind that. Judiciously spiced with a lingering, weighty finish, this is a Puligny that over-delivers. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting. |

Vinous (90-92)The 2021 Puligny-Montrachet Village has a strict, petrichor/wet limestone-scented bouquet, focused but not powerful. The palate is well balanced with a sappy entry, fine depth for a Village Cru and beautifully-judged acidity. A dab of spice enlivens the finish. This is an excellent, citrus-driven Puligny. |

The Bachelet Monnot Santenay Blanc 2020 is a meticulously crafted Burgundy wine from one of the region's most innovative, small-scale producers. The brothers Marc and Alexandre Bachelet have demonstrated their adeptness at delivering distinctive, well-structured, and complex wines since launching their vineyard in 2005. For their Santenay Blanc, the brothers carefully select grapes from limestone-rich terroirs in the village of Santenay, renowned for prestigious Chardonnay. Fermented and aged in French oak barrels, the wine balances creamy textures with vibrant freshness, offering ripened notes of citron, pear and almond. Its mineral-driven profile reflects the distinctive terroir, showcasing the quintessence of fine white Burgundy. Patient cellaring will further unlock its complexities and nuances within the next decade. As epitomised by the Bachelet Monnot Santenay Blanc 2020, the mark of Bachelet Monnot on a bottle signifies diligent craftsmanship and a compelling representation of Burgundy's diversity. |
