Tasting notes
From a blind tasting of more than 60 white burgundies submitted to British Airways for serving in their First Class cabin from August 2008 until August 2009. Fresh, muscular, quite energetic nose. But not quite enough fresh fruit weight on the mid palate. Not awful but not beautiful. (JR)

Lower-toned, carnal nose currently showing more honeysuckle and earth than primary fruits; conveys a strong impression of a sunny site. Then fat, generous and open-knit in the mouth, but with superb energy to the flavors of sweet stone fruits and wet stone. Much fleshier than the Blanchots, but a bit extreme right now.
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.
