Tasting notes
Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting in Beaune, the 2013 Grands Echézeaux Grand Cru has a licorice-like scent on the nose, sweet black cherries and red plum once you get through the reduction. The palate is medium-bodied with chewy, fine tannin, well balanced with black pepper sprinkled over the extracted dark fruit on the finish. It might lack the sophistication of the best wines from this vineyard, but it certainly delivers the focus and delineation you expect. Tasted September 2016.

More lift on the nose than the Échezeaux. Lots of luscious fruit and structure too. Well constructed with the fruit dominating everything. Lots of energy. (JR)
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.
