Tasting notes
The 2013 Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru is bestowed a ripe kirsch and cassis-scented bouquet that bursts from the glass – precocious and intense with a light marine-influence undercurrent. The palate is medium-bodied with ripe tannins, soft and supple in the mouth with a gentle, persistent grip on the powdery finish. Good substance here, if not quite the length of a top vintage.

Mid ruby. Light but subtle perfume. Good balance. Really very light for a grand cru. And with pretty marked acidity. (JR)
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.
