ALBERT BICHOT MOULIN-A-VENT DOMAINE DE ROCHEGRES 2022, 勃根地

Opened it last night and that ripe red fruit nose is exactly as described—so vibrant. The palate has a lovely roundness that makes it dangerously easy to drink. Already thinking about grabbing another bottle.

That nose of ripe red fruit is already beautiful, but knowing it will develop those forest and spice notes makes me want to buy a few more bottles to lay down. The body and roundness on the palate are exactly what I look for in a Gamay.

The palate’s roundness really delivers—it feels fuller than most Gamays I’ve tried, with that ripe red fruit carrying through beautifully. Already drinking well now, though I can see how those floral and spice notes would unfold with a few years in the cellar.
