Domaine Jean-Claude Bachelet
About Domaine Jean-Claude Bachelet
Even though they have been making wine since the 17th century, Benoit’s father Jean-Claude did not allow visits by critics so these wines slipped off the press radar.
Since Jean-Claude’s sons, Benoit and Jean-Baptiste, have taken over the helm, they have injected new life into the Domaine with their new cellars and cuverie. The brothers use less oak allowing their wines to express the fruit from their vineyards as fully as possible.

Vinous (93-95)
The 2018 Bienvenue-Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru comes from the six rows owned by the domaine that usually yield two barrels, raised this year in a single 456-liter barrel that the Bachelets have been employing since the 2017 vintage, as they find it imparts greater purity than the single-barrel size. This has a very precise bouquet, taut and focused with scents of orange blossom and pressed yellow flowers; great intensity here. The palate is very intense, the oak nicely integrated and displaying a keen line of acidity. The oak turns a little more dominant toward the finish, as you would expect, though it is in proportion to the fruit and there is a lovely nuttiness/smokiness conveyed by the persistent finish. This is an excellent Bienvenue but it will deserve cellaring for several years.Inc. VAT£682.07 -
Vinous (95-97)
The 2020 Bienvenue-Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru has a crisp, focused bouquet, clean and precise and gaining in intensity with every swirl of the glass. This means business! The medium-bodied palate delivers very pure citrus fruit laced with orange zest, grilled hazelnut and pine nuts. Yes, this is quite Meursault-like in style, but undeniably there is impressive precision and energy coiled up on persistent finish. This is a superb Bienvenue, one of the best that I tried from this Grand Cru. Just one 456-liter barrel produced.Inc. VAT£807.85 -

The 2022 Puligny-Montrachet Les Aubues is terrific, unwinding in the glass with aromas of pear, white flowers, hazelnuts, freshly baked bread and matchstick. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and suave, it's layered and concentrated, with a dense core of fruit, racy acids and a long, mineral finish. As readers may remember, this derives from an optimally situated enclave within Les Enceignères.Inc. VAT£495.89 -

Mid yellow. Good fruit concentration as the vines are older, 60-70 years, and it really shows. Plenty of tension, less sunny though the fruit is attractively ripe. Very good grip here, to confirm the quality. Drink from 2027-2031.Expected Price Range£167 - £204
