Tasting notes
Pale yellow. Peach and apricot pit along with smoke and butter on the ripe nose, plus a honeyed note I did not find in the '06. Fresh, intense stone fruit and brown spice flavors show lovely inner-mouth aromatic character and lift. The rising, peachy finish is complex and perfumed.

Pale, green-tinged color. Lime and honey aromas, with a note of white peach emerging with aeration. Rich, serious and backward, with a dominant flavor of citrus zest and lovely sugar/acid balance. Finishes intense, pure and long, with a bracing flavor of white peach. This really gains in richness as it opens in the glass, while retaining a sharpness of acidity that's utterly refreshing. Superb, gripping premier cru in the making.
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.
