Albert Bichot Chambolle-Musigny Premier Cru-Les Chabiots 2018

The 2018 Albert Bichot Chambolle-Musigny Premier Cru "Les Chabiots" is an elegant Pinot Noir from the Côte de Nuits, crafted from vines grown in shallow limestone soils adjacent to the famed "Les Amoureuses" vineyard. This red wine displays an intense bouquet of black and red fruits, including cassis, raspberry, and strawberry, accented by subtle floral notes of rose and violet. On the palate, it offers a fleshy yet refined structure with silky tannins and a refreshing finish marked by hints of menthol, tobacco, and fine oak. Typically aged for over a year in French oak barrels (40% new), this well-balanced wine pairs excellently with roasted poultry, lamb, or mild cheeses and has an aging potential of five to seven years.
