Albert Bichot : Morey-Saint-Denis 1er cru "Les Sorbets" 2022

Tangy cherry, raspberry, rose and oak spice aromas and flavors highlight this sleek, elegant red. Firm yet balanced, with a light coating of powdery tannins on the finish. Best from 2026 through 2042. 1,097 cases made, 80 cases imported.

Very 'Côte de Nuits' in style, this lovely wine features a rich blackberry fruit aroma with hints of earth and spice. The texture is rich and dense, with a pleasant persistence to the finish. The grapes are purchased from a large plot down-slope from the Clos des Lambrays and Clos de Tart on the other side of town in the premier cru. Some producers spell this climat Les Sorbès. The grapes are partially destemmed and gently fermented before ageing in cask (one-third new).
