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. |

Vinous (94-96)The 2021 Bienvenue-Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru had quite a lot of reduction on the nose when I tasted it at the Domaine. The palate is where the action is: intense citrus fruit, frangipane, lemongrass and crushed stone, gaining weight towards the finish with wonderful persistency. This seems to grow in the glass. Superb. |
