Tasting notes
Really rather ripe and gorgeous on the nose with a very light smoky reductive note – though without that much acidity or oak influence on the nose, though both are apparent on the very pleasing palate. This is lovely for drinking now and is much better value than many New World Chardonnays from some of the more celebrated producers. A light lemon-sherbet character. But not for the long term.

The Bachelet brothers' 2017 Bourgogne Rouge exhibits a generous bouquet of red and black fruits, subtly framed by a judicious touch of recently used wood. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied, ample and fleshy, with a succulent core of fruit and melting tannins. It's a blend of fruit from the communes of Puligny-Montrachet and Maranges along with grapes from the Hautes Côtes.
