From 70 year old vines in Burgundy, this is a very nice Chardonnay. Light golden/green in color, clear and bright. The nose has minerals, lemons, hazelnuts and spice. Medium to full bodied. On the palate, the lemons and minerals come thru. Nice balanced. Easy to drink. drink this over the next ten to twelve years. Nice on its own, this will be even better with lighter foods or sea food. Tuna steaks would be a nice match.
Bichot makes a lot of wine and most of it is reasonably priced and of good quality. This is no exception. Green gold in color, clear and bright. The nose is nice with lemons, slight chalk/minerals, and a slight apple quality. Light bodied. On the palate, this drinks easy. Lemon candy notes with some fresh lemon. Some acidity. A slight bitter note on the finish. This needs to be consumed now. It works well on its own but better with lighter foods. It went well with a cheese pizza.
This was oxidized. Apparently, the cork crumbled on removal. Of course, anytime a White Burgundy is oxidized earlier than expected it is worrisome. My friend who opened it said prior bottles had been good.
A really nice value in French Chardonnay. Gold/green in color, clear and bright. The nose has red apples, good minerality and a touch of spice. Medium bodied. Good acidity. On the palate, no hard edges. Very smooth with apples and minerals. Long finish. Nice on its own, but better with food. Pepper crusted Tuna steaks would be nice. Drink over the next seven to ten years.
