Alec and Marc Bachelet are the brothers at the helm of this relatively young Domaine and they have already gained serious attention and respect with their terroir-driven approach in the vineyard and the cellar. They work sustainably with the added advantage of low-yielding old vines, making naturally concentrated, pure wines that express their terroir. These are some of the best value wines in the whole of the Côte d'Or.

"From 75-year-old vines from a selection massale and situated on limestone soils, the 2013 Maranges 1er Cru Clos de la Boutière has a well-defined, very pure bouquet with violet aromas developing in the glass. This has class. The palate is medium-bodied with crisp tannins, a pastille-like purity at its core, with raspberry and strawberries segueing into a lightly spiced finish. Excellent. Drink 2016-2026."  Neal Martin, Wine Advocate, Dec 2014
