Note di degustazione
The 2016 Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru was picked on 28 September and includes 35% whole bunch fruit, with 40% new oak. It has a charming bouquet with well-defined crushed strawberry, raspberry and oyster shell aromas that unfurl in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, clean and pure, quite sharp toward the finish with tart red fruit on the finish. I would have just liked a little more rondeur on the finish, but otherwise, this is a satisfying Charmes-Chambertin that should end up toward the top of my banded score.

Much more impressive fruit power than their Clos de la Roche, giving all the grandeur and purity befitting grand cru. Tight, potent, layered and succulent. (RH)
The gamy essence of black cherry liqueur, earth and humus aromas precedes the caressing, mouth coating and punchy big-bodied flavors that retain fine delineation on the powerful and overtly saline finish that flashes a touch of youthful austerity. I very much like the sense of energy and particularly how refreshing this is but make no mistake, this is built-to-age and is going need at least 6 to 8 years first.
Informazioni sul produttore
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.
