Bachelet Monnot

According to Alexandre Bachelet, the brothers started harvesting on September 25 in 2013, with the fruit coming in with potential alcohol of 11.8% and up; all of the wines were chaptalized. They pressed strongly in 2013, as there was no rot, according to Alexandre. Note that a few 2013s had not yet finished their malolactic fermentations at the time of my annual visit. STEPHEN TANZER
