Vosne-Romanée Red 2020 | Wine from Domaine Clos Frantin

Vosne-Romanée 2020 from Domaine Clos Frantin de la maison Albert Bichot

LA MAISON Albert Bichot, founded in 1831 by Bernard Bichot in Monthélie, has established itself in the Burgundian wine world. The family heritage dates back to 1214 in Châteauneuf-en-Auxois. Under Albert Bichot I, it moved to Beaune in 1912, beginning an international expansion. Subsequent generations modernized infrastructure and conquered new markets. Albéric Bichot, since 1996, has been guiding la maison towards sustainable viticultural practices, switching to organic farming in the 2000s. Committed to the preservation of the environment, la maison supports marine research and the protection of the climats of Burgundy. Culturally, it promotes literature, music and les arts through various events. LA MAISON Albert Bichot values local know-how and authenticity, while preserving the natural balance of the Burgundian terroirs.

The 2020 Vosne-Romanée from Domaine Clos Frantin in la maison Albert Bichot is an exceptional red wine from Burgundy. Made from 100% Pinot Noir grapes, it is grown on brown soils with a predominance of limestone, in a vineyard of 1.10 hectares with vines with an average age of 35 to 40 years. The grapes are harvested by hand and sorted when they arrive at the winery. Vinification includes fermentation maceration in temperature-controlled wooden vats for 3 to 4 weeks, followed by ageing in oak barrels (25 to 35% new barrels) for 14 to 16 months. This wine offers a complex bouquet combining aromas of red and black fruits (cherry, raspberry, blackberry) with subtle notes of tobacco, tea and spices. On the palate, it is velvety with a perfect harmony between rich flesh, silky tannins, volume and power. The finish is long and aromatic. To be enjoyed at a temperature of 15-16°C, it can be stored for 5 to 7 years or more. It goes perfectly with roasted or gravy meats (beef, lamb, duck, game) as well as medium-bodied cheeses.
