2014 Domaine du Clos Frantin (Albert Bichot) Chambertin Grand Cru

This historic 13 ha domaine that owns some very impressive appellations was acquired by the Beaune négociant Albert Bichot in 1969.

CRITICAL ACCLAIM


Wine Enthusiast - "This wine is dense, although you hardly notice the tannins for the weight of concentrated fruit. The tannins are there, though, a power to thrust this immense wine well into the future. It is well formed, firm while rich. Drink from 2024."


Burghound - "Here the unusually expressive nose is more floral in character with ample spice elements on the earthy dark berry and Asian tea suffused aromas. There is good richness to the supple, rich and relatively forward flavors that possess a generous mid-palate though the vibrant and stony finish immediately tightens up. I like the punch and muscle though I found the absence of first-rate complexity surprising, though this may very well develop in time. (89-92pts)"
