🏰 The 2019 Bachelet-Monnot Santenay Blanc is a delightful white Burgundy, showcasing the skill of brothers Marc and Alexandre Bachelet, who established their domaine in 2005. They farm organically, aiming for fresh, accessible wines that also possess aging potential. 【A fresh and energetic Santenay Blanc from organically farmed vineyards】. This Chardonnay is sourced from the 'En Charron' locality, known for its high altitude, excellent sunshine, and thin limestone soils, contributing to superb aromatic finesse. It presents a beautiful golden robe and a fresh, slightly roasted nose. On the palate, you'll discover aromas of almonds and grilled hazelnuts, with the promise of developing truffle notes with age. Tasting notes also highlight citrus, lemon, grapefruit, minerals, chalk, flint, pear, green apple, and melon, alongside oak, butter, incense, toast, almond, pine nut, cream, cheese, fresh-cut grass, and tropical hints. It's mouth-filling and bubbling with energy, showing a little grain of tannin and a long, growing intensity. 🍴 This versatile white Burgundy is a fantastic match for a variety of dishes. It shines with creamy preparations like risotto, pasta with white sauces, or rich fish such as salmon and tuna. It also pairs wonderfully with shellfish, grilled fish, seared scallops, crab, wild mushrooms, and mild to medium cheeses. Dishes featuring buttery or creamy sauces, like Hollandaise or Béarnaise, would be particularly complementary. 🥂 The 2019 Santenay Blanc is perfect for a casual yet elegant lunch, a springtime gathering, or as a sophisticated aperitif. Its freshness and energy make it enjoyable in its youth, but its structure suggests it will also evolve gracefully over the next few years. It's an excellent choice for those seeking a high-quality, expressive white Burgundy.
