Tasting notes
The 2019 Vosne-Romanée Les Malconsorts 1er Cru has a touch of reduction on the nose, maybe with just a little Brettanomyces too, though it doesn't really impede, clarifying with time to offer up a subtle shucked-oyster-shell tincture. The palate is medium-bodied and finely-chiseled. Lightly spiced and focused, this builds nicely in the mouth, with a very pleasing finish. It's just a case of a Vosne Premier Cru that is biding its time. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting.

The attractive red-beet and milk-chocolate nose leads you into a full-bodied, tannic wine thatâs built for long aging. Plenty of ripe plum on the very bold, almost massive palate. Expands nicely as it aerates, but you need to be patient. Drinkable now, but best from 2024.
Cask sample. Mid blueish crimson. Sweet and very slightly oaky on the nose. Big and beefier than most of the Bichot premiers crus. Good Vosne energy and precision. Not nearly ready but well constituted. Rather savoury on the finish. Good texture and focused fruit. Lots of tension and interest on the end. (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.
