Domaine Bertrand Bachelet Clos du Cromin

Meursault, the world-renowned appellation, has produced mostly fine white wines for centuries. The wines of the estate come from the "Le Cromin" locality, situated in the north-east of the appellation, close to the Volnay vineyard, in rich, clay, not very pebbly soil.

A beautifully transparent and brilliant robe; the nose, a subtle mix of citrus fruits, butter and honey; with a long finish. Ageing takes place in oak barrels, of which 25% are new, for about twelve months. This is followed by a few months in stainless steel vats to stabilise the wine before bottling.

A passion for wine was what led Bertrand Bachelet to take over the family estate from his father, Jean-Louis, in 2011. He is the fourth generation in the line of Burgundy winegrowers. Bertrand currently runs the 13 hectares that stretch from Maranges to Pommard in the Côte de Beaune. The estate is based in Dezize-les-Maranges, one of three villages of the Maranges appellation. This appellation accounts for the greatest portion of the estate's production.
