Tasting notes
Palish red. Aromas of redcurrant, smoke, licorice and celery seed. Supple flavors of musky redcurrant and earth show moderate precision and lift. Finishes with plenty of dusty tannins and decent grip.

Almost invisible wood frames subtly spiced ripe black cherry and plum aromas that lead to powerful and mineral-driven middle weight plus flavors that possess the usual Malconsorts taut muscularity and robust punch on the mouth coating finish. This should be excellent but note that 10 to 12 years will be required first. This is textbook. *Outstanding*
Spicily, lightly aromatic. Dark and really not very welcoming at the moment but it is finely tuned and has a long, dry savoury finish. Perhaps just a little lean, at least for now. (JH)
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.
