Burgundy 2018: CLOS FRANTIN

Clos Frantin.jpg

The historic Domaine du Clos Frantin is the flagship estate fo the Bichot family, boasting an enviable range of Grands Crus and 1er Crus holdings in Vosne Romanee. 

In recent years the quality has been on a steep upward curve as they adapt their approach to better reflect the character of the individual wines and use less new oak.

"really quite delicious, complex wines that often surprise people in blind tastings"

Premiers Cru

"This has a high-class bouquet of pure red cherries, cranberry and wild strawberry scents, hints of rose petal and orange blossom emerging with time. The palate is medium-bodied with crisp red berry fruit and a frame of quite firm tannins that should guarantee the longevity of this Malconsorts. It feels a little aloof on the finish, but it just needs time to soften its edges. Drink 2024-2045"
92-94 Neal Martin, Vinous


Grands Crus
£795 per 6x75 IB  /  £805 per 3x150 IB
"Clove, vanilla, a touch of earth and strawberry. Well-structured palate, with the intensity to carry it off over the medium-to-long term. Drink 2026-2036."

"Solid concentrated fruit with freshness that complements it. Very lively wine. Lots of structure in evidence at the moment, with masses of energy. Drink 2028-2042"

£1695 per 6x75 IB
"It has a very pure, generous bouquet with layers of red cherries, crushed strawberry and cranberry fruit and well-integrated oak. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins. Very lithe and fresh, leading to a delineated finish that ranks alongside many others I have tasted. This is a superb Chambertin that will age with style. Drink 2023-2045."
94-96 Neal Martin, Vinous
