Tasting Notes
Soft, faintly smoky aromas of woodland mushroom with toasted notes. Smooth, well-integrated tannins and delectable, lasting flavour. A very elegant wine. Savour this fine appellation with red meats and game. A great match with most cheeses.
History
The Bichot Family started a relationship with the House of Jean Bouchard in 1926, going on to purchasing the House in 1955 and in the time that has followed their wines have gone from strength to strength.
