Albert Bichot, Beaune 1er Cru Clos des Mouches

"A vague whiff of the exotic suffuses the ripe and markedly floral aromas of melon, pear and apple-scented nose. There is once again fine volume to the succulent and caressing medium-bodied flavors that conclude in a bitter lemon-inflected and mildly warm finale that is borderline tannic. This will definitely need at least a few years of keeping to round out the finish.” AM
