The 2021 Chablis Les Clos Grand Cru has a fresh and vibrant nose, much more complex and terroir-driven than the Meursault Charmes. The palate is well balanced with a reductive entry, but there is tension here and decent length. This is a little better than the sample tasted a few months ago.
The 2021 Chablis Les Clos Grand Cru has a very reduced nose that obscures the terroir expression. The palate is balanced with good weight, but there are shortcomings in terms of its precision and mineralité , the finish seeming to go nowhere fast. Not bad, but rather anonymous compared to its peers. Tasted blind at the BIVB tasting in Chablis.
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.
