Albert Bichot : Clos de Vougeot Grand cru Dom. du Clos Frantin 2018

The depth and complexity to this young Clos de Vougeot is impressive, to say the least. It’s full-bodied and layered with chewy, polished tannins and excellent berry, smoke, walnut and black-tea character. Just a hint of wild herbs. A wine that needs time to soften. Try after 2023.

Beautiful, elegant nose, very floral, followed by a hint of cherry. This is a solid, dense and powerful wine, balanced by the richness of its fruit. A fine wine for cellaring.

The freshness of ripe, tart cherry is pervasive on the aromatic nose of this wine, backed by slightly toasty oak. Cherry notes get creamier on the palate where ripeness and freshness meet at a perfect juncture, favoring brightness just a little bit more. Fine tannins weave a firm, still slightly crunchy web but that is where the aromatic cherry hides, only to burst forth with freshness. It's elegant, concentrated, aromatic and smooth.
