Tasting notes
The only 2012 Bichot red that is already bottled. Bought-in grapes. Gentle red fruit, hint of caramel sweetness. Then much more savoury on the palate. Dry, darker fruited than the aroma. Quite firm tannins but rounded. (JH)

A fresh and expressive nose offers up mostly floral aromas together with both white and yellow orchard fruit nuances. There is fine punch and excellent volume to the delicious and very round flavors that possess a hint of salinity on the solidly complex and persistent finish. This is really very pretty and worth considering particularly as an all-around house white. Tasted: Jun 15, 2014. Drink: 2015+
About the producer
Although the Bichot family settled in the region in 1350, Albert Bichot was founded in 1831 by Bernard Bichot. Today the producer is one of Burgundy’s most respected, making wines from both its own vineyards and with purchased fruit.
