    Portrait of Alexandre Bachelet

    i. Biography

    Domaine work in Burgundy starts with address as much as with cellar practice. In Dezize-lès-Maranges, France, the public identity of Alexandre Bachelet is tied to Domaine Bachelet-Monnot through the role of co-founder, a designation that places the work at the level of establishment rather than affiliation. The craft frame is clear: a domaine, a family name, and a village supply the coordinates by which the wines are read.

    Place remains the controlling fact. Co-founder, Domaine Bachelet-Monnot, Dezize-lès-Maranges, France: the line is spare, but in Burgundian terms it carries enough structure. The label and the location define the professional profile, with continuity expressed through the domaine rather than through a list of detached appointments.
