From the highest-altitude section of Folatières—one of Puligny-Montrachet's premier Premier Cru vineyards—where 50-year-old vines grow on thin, rocky marly limestone beneath La Truffière. Brothers Marc and Alexandre Bachelet established their domaine in 2005 from reorganized family holdings and have quickly become two of Burgundy's finest talents, now farming 22 hectares. Their Folatières ferments with indigenous yeast in larger barrels, ages 12 months in oak, then harmonizes six months in stainless steel. The 2022 vintage offered excellent Chardonnay despite a challenging growing season.

Left Premier Cru Burgundy

Alex and Marc Bachelet started their domaine in 2005 from a portion of the family vineyards. By 2011 they had acquired 22 hectares of old to very old vines in Maranges, Santenay, Chassagne and Puligny-Montrachet.

They farm with sustainable methods that they describe as ‘très lutte raisonnée’, which literally translates as "the very reasoned struggle." In the cellar they are extremely meticulous with their use of sulphur, preferring to "micro-dose" when and where necessary and never at bottling. They use 350 liter barrels to avoid any overt "flavor" of oak spice and emphasize the super precise, mineral flavors and taught structure.
Marc explains that the small doses of sulphur allowed him to bottle the wine with very little free SO2 and still feel confident they are well protected from the elements.

The results are stunning: clean, pure, transparent and bursting with mineral energy. There is very little to no reduction on the wines, yet they seem to be built to last for many years.
