Maison Albert Bichot
Savigny-lès-Beaune Pinot Noir
Savigny-lès-Beaune, Côte de Beaune, Burgundy, France
Very solid negociant village cuvée. Good purity and freshness, tightly wound acid structure. Tad bit reductive and showing nice streak of smoky mineral character.

Good ripeness and decent farmy funk on the nose. Cherries and cranberries. Soft acidity.

Dark ruby in color with a purplish rim.
Light nose of raspberries, strawberries, cherries, oak, vanilla, licorice, cloves and peppercorn.
Medium bodied with medium plus acidity.
Tart on the palate with plums, cherries, strawberries, raspberries, oak, vanilla, licorice, spices, earth, forest floor, smoke, green pepper and peppercorn.
Medium finish with soft tannins and black pepper.
This 100% Pinot Noir is simple and too sour for me. Earthy and tart, with a thin mouthfeel.
Better with food, though. I paired it with flank steak, and surprisingly, it was good.
13% alcohol by volume.

Tart cherries, strawberries, dry cranberries, pomegranate juice but thinned with water, cinnamon, very light spice & dry earth and soft barely present minerality.

A very affordable Burgundy of moderate pedigree, it is lighter, dry, smooth, nicely acidic, and loaded with red berries and cherries. The kind of wine I drink every day when I’m in Paris. 90/100.

Wow. The first Pinot I’ve enjoyed in about a million years. Fruit forward, cinnamon candy. Lovely.
