Domaine Aurore Bachelet - Maranges 1er Cru - Les Clos Roussots 2023
Domaine Aurore Bachelet is located in Santenay, south of the Côte de Beaune region in Burgundy . With a business school degree and a wealth of international experience, Aurore chose to reconnect with her roots in Burgundy. After training in viticulture and oenology, she spent five years perfecting her skills alongside her father, Vincent Bachelet. At the same time, she invested in developing her own estate. Aurore produces the two emblematic grape varieties of Burgundy: Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. For each vintage, she strives to respect the Burgundian identity with a vinification process that is as non-interventionist as possible.
The Maranges Premier Cru Les Clos Roussots is made from Pinot Noir whose vines are around 5 years old, grown on a clay-limestone terroir. After manual harvesting, the grapes are put into cold pre-fermentation vatting . A portion (40%) is kept in whole bunches. Fermentation takes place in vats, with regular manual punching down and watering. The wine is aged for 18 months in oak barrels .
