The 2023 Bachelet-Monnot Pommard is a beautifully structured and finely detailed Pinot Noir from one of Burgundy’s most respected modern domaines. Produced from carefully selected parcels across Pommard, the wine reflects the domaine’s elegant and terroir-focused philosophy, balancing the appellation’s natural power and depth with freshness, mineral precision and refinement. The nose reveals black cherry, wild strawberry and plum layered alongside violet, subtle spice and delicate earthy notes, giving the wine impressive complexity and lift.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with fine-grained tannins, vibrant natural acidity and a tightly focused mineral core. Layers of dark berry fruit, savoury spice and gentle whole-bunch complexity are balanced by chalky freshness and silky texture, finishing long, poised and beautifully persistent with excellent structure and ageing potential. Restrained oak usage and careful extraction preserve the transparency and finesse of the vineyard while allowing the wine’s underlying concentration to emerge gradually.
Ben’s Recommendation:
The 2023 Bachelet-Monnot Pommard is a superb modern Pommard — structured, mineral and beautifully refined with impressive depth and precision. Perfect with roast duck, grilled lamb, mushroom dishes, game birds or slow-roasted pork dishes. Enjoy now with decanting or cellar gracefully through 2042+.
