This vineyard carries the local nickname ‘Petit Bâtard’ on account of its clay-rich soils and the depth, quality and texture of the wines it routinely delivers—sometimes reminiscent of the nearby Grand Cru, Bâtard Montrachet. The Bachelet brothers farm a 0.45-hectare parcel of 40-year-old vines near the top of the slope (next door to Sauzet’s) under the Les Combettes 1er Cru. The soils here are very stony, which brings generosity and flesh, but there’s no shortage of mineral charge. It was raised entirely in 350-litre barrels. As you can read below, the 2021 is a stunning example. Only three barrels were made this year.
