Chambertin Grand Cru 2019 Domaine du Clos Frantin, the nobility of a racy Pinot Noir

For wine lovers seeking pure emotion, this Chambertin Grand Cru 2019 from Domaine du Clos Frantin, Maison Albert Bichot, stands as a cellar centrepiece. Here, the greatness of the Côte de Nuits reaches its zenith in a Pinot Noir of rare intensity, coming from a confidential 17 ares parcel located high on the climat, on a marl soil that signs the great balances. Planted over 50 years ago, the vines draw a singular energy from deep roots. A late harvest magnified phenolic ripeness, while the organic certification obtained in 2012 attests to a respectful and precise approach to the living environment. On the nose, a racy bouquet unfolds, blending red and black fruits, green tea, tobacco, prune and date. The palate, broad and powerful, extends into a sustained velvety texture, carried by a long finish that seems to suspend time. Served at 16-17°C, it is expressive today and promises cellaring of 7 to 10 years and beyond.

The signature of a Burgundy grand cru, rigour and authenticity

This Chambertin Grand Cru AOC comes from the Côte de Nuits, cradle of the greatest Pinot Noir. It is made from 100% Pinot Noir, a grape elevated here by vines over 50 years old. The parcel, just 17 ares, sits high on the climat, where the marl soil provides a structured framework and remarkable verticality. The late harvest enhances maturity and aromatic depth while preserving balance. The wine is 13% alcohol, a harmonious level that carries richness without weight. Certified organic since 2012, the vineyard expresses an intact fidelity to its ecosystem, for a clear and sincere reading of the terroir. On the nose, intensity unfolds in layers, from red and black fruits to nuances of green tea and tobacco, then to dried fruit notes of prune and date. On the palate, breadth and power unite in a velvety texture that stretches at length, with elegant grip.
