Albert Bichot has been making more and more scented wines with less wood or at least up front woody notes lately. The nose is more floral and delicate, the palate has finer fruity notes, less rough texture. Especially the wines from the Long-Depaquit and Clos Frantin estates or wines made at these two vineries from bought grapes, are now really serious wines that should not be overlooked by the wine collectors. Here is a 2010 Latricières-Chambertin tasted recently.
2010 Albert Bichot Latricières-Chambertin
Bright ruby. Scented, red berries, fresh, detailed, spices, nuanced, lovely nose, needed half an hour in the glass to open and it should have been decanted. Fresh acidity, ripe tannins, fresh, detailed, elegant, nuanced, red berries, lovely balance, playful, long. 93
