Domaine Bachey-Legros wines

Domaine Bachey-Legros works with the greatest respect for the vines. The grapes are harvested by hand. The white wine is gently pressed using a pneumatic press. Fermentation lasts two months. Red wines undergo cold maceration before a 12-day fermentation. Depending on the vintage, wines are aged between 12 and 15 months. The proportion of new barrels used varies between 20% and 30%, depending on the vintage.

The most prestigious are its Chassagne-Montrachet Premiers Crus Morgeot and La Boudriotte, accompanied by a Santenay Premier Cru Les Gravières. The Village appellation includes Santenay, Chassagne-Montrachet, Puligny-Montrachet and Meursault. The domaine also produces a Bourgogne Blanc.

For red wines, the domaine offers Santenay Premiers Crus Clos Rousseau and La Comme. Village appellations include Santenay, Chassagne-Montrachet, Maranges and Côtes de Beaune-Villages. This range of red wines is completed by a Bourgogne Rouge.
