ALBERT BICHOT MACON-VILLAGES 2023, Burgundy

I picked up a bottle on a whim and was pleasantly surprised by the honeysuckle and apple notes on the palate—it’s got just the right amount of roundness. Perfect for a weeknight dinner.

The honeysuckle and acacia aromas are exactly as described, and the apple and pear flavors give it a crisp, clean finish. It’s round enough to enjoy on its own but paired beautifully with a simple chicken dinner. Definitely worth picking up for that price point.

This is a lovely bottle for a weeknight dinner; the honeysuckle aromatics really do come through on the nose. The palate is crisp with apple and pear, and the minerality gives it a nice, round finish that had me reaching for another glass.
