Tasting notes
The 2020 Chablis Les Clos Grand Cru conveys a sense of presence on the nose, a Les Clos that wants to be noticed. Orchard fruit, touches of melted candle wax and a flint to the fore. The palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity, quite saline, a hint of wild honey underlying the citrus fruit with a linear finish. It just misses a bit of flair and mineralité , though it should improve in bottle. Tasted blind at the BIVB tasting in Chablis.

The 2020 Chablis Les Clos Grand Cru has a light, stony bouquet that does not really translate the power this vineyard can give its wines. The palate is better, with a citric entry and good acidity, and though it finishes a little short, this should fill out with time.
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.
