Albert Bichot Vosne-Romanee Malconsorts Premier Cru Domaine du Clos Frantin 2020 750ml

On the nose, it is thin and complex, at first glance marked by a delicate and discreet wooded area. Its notes of stone fruit, evolve towards a finish on spices. This nose is gradually discovered, and after good ventilation, it will bring out subtle notes of peppermint and cedar. On the palate, we can see all the crunch of the Pinot Noir grape variety, with a pretty tannic texture that coats the palate without aggressiveness.

Taste this Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru "Les Malconsorts" with red meats, game in sauce and on the majority of cheeses.

The wine shows a pronounced aroma of ripe black cherry and floral notes the winemaker describes as peony, mingled with notes of mineral, spice and smoke. Initially somewhat reserved on the palate, the texture is silky and with time reveals substantial but fine-grained tannins, good freshness and impressive length. Bichot owns two parcels of Malconsorts that total 1.75ha at the southern extremity of the lieu-dit bordering Nuits. Picking began on the 31st August, right after the first small shower that refreshed the vines.
