Nuits-Saint-Georges, Domaine du Clos Frantin 2021
Maison Albert Bichot has been passed down for 6 generations since 1831 and today it manages individual Domaines rather than housing all sites under one property. Domaine Long-Depaquit in Chablis, Domaine du Pavillon is the organic project in Pommard and the jewel in the crown Domaine du Clos Frantin in NSG make up the main three out of six. Having supported the team for a number of vintages we have been able to acquire decent allocations across all three and are thrilled to be able to offer their top wines.
Pommard, Domaine Benoit Girardin 2023
"From two parcels—Les Lambots near Volnay and En Mareau—this Pommard strikes a balance between elegance and power. The nose offers vibrant red fruit, with cherries, red currants, and a hint of warm spice. The palate is silky yet grippy, with fine tannins providing structure and excellent balance." Our note Son of Yves and nephew of Vincent, Benoit Girardin has steadily carved out his own reputation and is already turning heads in the Parisian restaurant scene. 2023 was a standout vintage for Girardin, delivering both quantity and quality. While white yields were typical, the reds saw an unprecedented abundance. The whites were harvested first, beginning on September 7th, with the reds following on September 10th. Whites show a harmonious balance between sugar and acidity, with greater maturity and slightly softer acidity compared to 2022. The reds are all 100% destemmed with no fining or filtration, while the whites retain purity and definition with meticulous filtration.
