Albert Bichot : Chambertin Grand cru Dom. du Clos Frantin 2022

Bichot's 0.17-hectare holding at the top of the slope has produced an evocative, lovely wine with forward pomegranate and red plum fruit, with hints of spice, smoke, and earth. The texture is silky and more approachable than the 2020 vintage at a similar stage. The vines are worked by horse and farmed organically, with everything done by hand—truly 'à l’ancien' in the best way. The results speak for themselves, as this is a delicious wine. It will be drinkable fairly early on but has the substance for long-term ageing.
