Albert Bichot Domaine du Clos Frantin Echezeaux Grand Cru, 2018, 150cl

Albert Bichot Domaine du Clos Frantin Echézeaux Grand Cru 2018 Magnum – Exclusive Burgundy with finesse, depth, and great aging potential

Albert Bichot Domaine du Clos Frantin Echézeaux Grand Cru 2018 is an exclusive red wine from Burgundy, France, made from 100% Pinot Noir from the Grand Cru vineyard Echézeaux in Flagey-Échezeaux. According to the producer's technical sheet, the wine comes from brown limestone soil with an almost sandy texture and many pebbles, which contributes to both the wine's elegance and terroir character.

In the glass, the wine offers a complex and refined aroma with notes of red berries such as raspberry, stone fruit such as plum, and floral nuances of rose and peony, lifted by fine spicy tones. With age, it develops towards more classic Burgundy notes such as forest floor and leather. The taste is round and precise with a beautiful structure, rounded tannins, and a very long, elegant finish.

The 2018 vintage is described by several professional sources as a wine with both concentration, freshness, and energy. Wine Spectator highlights notes of macerated cherries, raspberries, vanilla, and toast, while Jancis Robinson describes it as lively, structured, and full of energy. This makes 2018 a particularly attractive vintage for those seeking a great and age-worthy Pinot Noir from Burgundy.

This bottle is supplied in 150 cl magnum, which is an ideal format for collectors, special dinners, and longer aging. The magnum format is confirmed by retailer data for this specific wine and vintage. The wine pairs particularly well with beef, veal, game, braised dishes, and aged cheeses.
