The 2023 Bachelet-Monnot Bourgogne Rouge is a beautifully pure and finely detailed Pinot Noir from one of Burgundy’s most respected modern domaines. Produced from carefully selected vineyards across the Côte de Beaune, the wine reflects the domaine’s elegant and terroir-focused approach, favouring freshness, precision and transparency over heavy extraction or oak influence. The nose reveals wild strawberry, red cherry and raspberry layered alongside violet, subtle spice and delicate earthy notes, giving the wine impressive lift and finesse.
On the palate, it is light to medium-bodied with silky tannins, vibrant natural acidity and a finely etched mineral core. Layers of bright red berry fruit, gentle savoury complexity and subtle spice are balanced by freshness and supple texture, finishing long, poised and beautifully persistent with excellent balance and drinkability. Careful élevage and restrained oak usage preserve the wine’s purity and vineyard character while adding subtle depth and structure.
Ben’s Recommendation:
The 2023 Bachelet-Monnot Bourgogne Rouge is a superb modern Burgundy Pinot Noir — elegant, fresh and beautifully composed with excellent finesse and clarity. Perfect with roast chicken, duck, mushroom dishes, charcuterie or lighter game dishes. Enjoy now or cellar comfortably through 2033+.
