ALBERT BICHOT POMMARD CLOS DES URSULINES 2020, Burgund

That leather and mocha note really sets this apart from other pinots I’ve tried from the region, and the mineral finish keeps it from feeling heavy. Opened it with a slow-cooked beef dish and the figs came through beautifully on the palate. Already bought a second bottle for a special occasion.

The cherry and blackcurrant aromas hit you right away, with that mineral undertone adding real complexity. It’s bold and layered without being heavy—perfect for a slow evening dinner when you want something that keeps evolving in the glass.

The coffee and mocha notes come through beautifully on the palate, adding a rich depth that lingers nicely. It's a heady, complex wine that really opens up after an hour in the glass—perfect for a slow dinner.
