Tasting notes
Ten months in oak, 20% new. Light to mid cherry red. Gently and sweetly spiced red fruit. Fragrant. Juicy, mouth-watering and succulent. Gentle and generous but not flabby thanks to the lively fresh finish. Tannins just present on the finish to keep it in shape. Excellent balance and I imagine it will be GV . (JH)

More reviews and scores
(all from Côte de Nuits). A relatively fresh and bright nose is composed by notes of red berries and earth with a back ground hint of wood. There is fine detail and vibrancy to the attractively textured middle weight flavors that possess fine concentration for the appellation, all wrapped in a lingering finale. This could be drunk young or aged for a few years first. Recommended. Dec 2016, www.burghound.com
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.
