A classic expression of the village, the Clos Frantin's 2021 Vosne-Romanée is fragrant with red cherries, wild strawberries, a touch of plum and a hint of violets. The palate is silky and pure, with bright red fruit, gentle spice and that trademark Vosne finesse. Polished tannins and a mineral lift keep everything fresh and beautifully balanced, leading to a long, elegant finish. Maison Albert Bichot, a long-established Burgundy négociant and domaine house passed down through six generations since 1831, now manages a collection of individual Domaines, including Domaine du Clos Frantin, one of the standout estates in its stable.
