Albert Bichot Morey-Saint-Denis Les Sorbets Premier Cru 2014  - First Bottle

Reviews

93 Wine Enthusiast -
Rich, ripe and fruity, this wine wears its tannins easily. With layers of acidity, red-berry fruit and a dark, dry core, the wine is impressive and set to age. The aftertaste is both sweet with the generous fruit and dry with tannins, finishing firmly. Drink from 2020.

Too late, we are SOLD OUT!

The Bichot family settled in Burgundy in 1350, but it’s really since the mid-90s that the quality has skyrocketed. Interestingly, this appellation marks the transition between the rather masculine Gevrey-Chambertin wines and the feminine typicity of Chambolle-Musigny. "Les Sorbets" lies at an altitude of 250 meters in the center of the village. Just a 9 iron away from the legendary Clos de Tart, the soil is brown and clayey, overlying hard Bathonian limestone, and contains Upper Bajocian marls.

Our tasting notes pair up with the winery, too: “...redolent of wild sour cherry with notes of leather and a hint of oak. It acquires more complex aromas with animal and spicy nuances when allowed to age. Well balanced on the palate and endowed with superb structure boasting flavours of red berries and liquorice. The finish is generous and deliciously fruity.”

Just singing right now, especially with the right food (see our reco below!). Such an amazing price! ONLY 20 CASES left!

PAIRING IDEAS: Mushrooms (and cheese) are always a desired match for a good Burg like this. Make an easy risotto with mushrooms (the more exotic the better but skip shitakes, too strong) and taleggio cheese. Here’s a good recipe to try!

MUSIC SUGGESTIONS: Get into Cracker, headed up by David Lowery. The first album, "Cracker", has so many great songs – “Cracker Soul” being a fun one to start with!

About the Producer

The first traces of the Bichot family date back to 1214. They settled in Burgundy in 1350. Alberic Bichot joined the company in the early 90s and took over its management in 1996. Convinced that the quality of wine depends on the quality of the grapes, he has focused on developing the upstream control that was undertaken in the 1980s. He secured supplies and began to expand the vinification capacity and the aging cellars in 2010. The company's vineyards now total 6 estates that cover Burgundy from north to south.
