Tasting notes
The 2021 Vosne-Romanée Les Malconsorts 1er Cru is a tad more open than Domaine de Montille's Malconsorts with red cherries, crushed strawberry scents, rose petals in an antique vase and cinnamon. The palate is pretty with tart red cherry fruit, allspice and clove. Nicely balanced, nothing overly complex but there is a pleasing insistent grip and a sapid finish to tempt you back for more. A step up from the bottle tasted in January 2023. Drink over the next 12 to 15 years. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting.

Tank sample. Some real pace on this wine and quite a bit of tannin too. A little bitter on the end but good fruit on the way there. (JR)
The 2021 Vosne-Romanée Les Malconsorts 1er Cru has a light nose with red cherries and undergrowth scents. It needs a little more vigor. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit, a bit chewy with a lightly spiced finish.
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.
