Tasting notes
The 2018 Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru contains 50% whole-bunch fruit and is matured in 45% new oak. There is a sense of sumptuousness on the nose of pure dark cherry, cranberry and tangerine. The palate is well balanced with grippy tannins, a fine bead of acidity and satisfying tension and vivacity on the edgy, stony finish. This is an excellent Charmes-Chambertin.

Cask sample. Bright crimson. Quite an intense nose. Round nose and then crunchy fruited. Good attack. Quite forward. (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.
