Domaine Aurore Bachelet is located in Santenay — in south of the Côte de Beaune — at the foot of Montange des Trois Croix (Three Crosses Mountain). After graduating business school and traveling abroad, Aurore Bachelet returned to her Burgundian roots and took to viticultural and oenological studies. She spent the next five years training alongside her father Vincent at his eponymous domaine. Today, Aurore crafts wines from Burgundy’s two emblematic varietals: Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. With each vintage, she strives to showcase and respect the grapes’ Burgundian identity. Sustainable farming is practiced in the vineyards and all work is conducted manually. Aurore practices minimal intervention in her winemaking, holding to the belief that great wine is made in the vineyard, where careful work is essential throughout the year. Her wines are aged in her 17th century cellar in French oak for 12 to 18 months. They are refined through regular scrupulous tastings and care, assembled in vat, then bottled.

Aurore's Santenay Rouge is crafted from 100% Pinot Noir from vines that average 50 years of age, grown in clay-limestone soils. The wine is aged for twelve months in barrel, before being finished in stainless steel for five months. Brilliant ruby red in color, this Santenay rouge bursts from the glass with a mélange of enticing red fruits tinged with notes of spice and crushed violets. The palate lush and complex, but extremely well-balanced by a lively acidity and silky smooth tannins. Flavors of spiced plum, red cherry and strawberries are intertwined hints of sandalwood and a forest floor earthiness. This wine perfectly encapsulates the richness that can be achieved from the Santenay terroir. All of these components effortlessly coalesce toward a magnificent finish showcasing this beautiful wine's depth and length. A wonderful pairing for assorted cheese and cured meats or anything off the grill.
