ALBERT BICHOT SAVIGNY-LES-BEAUNE 'LES PEUILLETS' 1ER CRU 2022, Bourgogne

Opened it last night with roast duck and the balance of fruit and light tannins was perfect. The balsam and spice notes gave it a complexity that kept me coming back for another glass.

Opened this on a quiet Tuesday and the baked cherry and maple notes jumped right out of the glass, just as described. The tannins are so light it drinks almost like a bigger Beaujolais, but with that warm Burgundian depth. Perfect with a simple roast chicken.

The fruit is really generous here, with those red and black notes coming through nicely alongside a hint of balsam. It's got a warm, broad feel that works well for a Burgundy, though the tannins are light enough to drink now. Solid first impression for the price point.
