Albert Bichot Domaine du Clos Frantin Chambertin Grand Cru 2020 – Exclusive Burgundy with depth, elegance, and great intensity

Albert Bichot Domaine du Clos Frantin Chambertin Grand Cru 2020 is an exceptional red wine from Burgundy, France, crafted from 100% Pinot Noir from the prestigious Chambertin Grand Cru vineyard. The wine combines a noble terroir with great precision and is an ideal choice for those seeking an exclusive Burgundy with both power, finesse, and aging potential.

In the glass, this Chambertin Grand Cru 2020 offers an intense and elegant aroma with notes of red and black berries, green tea, tobacco, and dried fruits like prune and date. With time, the wine develops even more complex nuances of spices, forest floor, and leather, underscoring its classic and refined style.

The taste is rich, full-bodied, and powerful with a silky smooth texture and an impressively long, velvety finish. Reviews of the 2020 vintage also highlight nuances of blackberry, crushed stones, and a hint of menthol, as well as a generous and juicy mouthfeel that makes the wine both inviting and complex.

The grapes are hand-harvested and sorted upon arrival at the cellar. Vinification takes place with 18 to 21 days of maceration in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, followed by aging in oak barrels for 16 to 18 months, of which 40 to 50% are new barrels. This gives the wine structure, depth, and beautiful balance.

This magnificent Pinot Noir from Burgundy pairs particularly well with beef, veal, game, braised dishes, and mature cheeses. It is a wine for special dinners and for collectors who desire a classic Grand Cru Burgundy with impressive character. The bottle is available in 75 cl.
