Initially smoky nose, pear syrup, salty butter, metallic and stone notes, and white flowers. Fine, but intense attack that fans out, smoky and salty with a core of supple, sweet fruit. Concentrated and rich but bristling with citrussy acidity. This is very compact currently and needs a bit of time to relax in to itself but is all there for future drinking pleasure.
Tom Harrow, Wine Guru (2021)
Maison Albert Bichot has been passed down for 6 generations since 1831 and today it manages individual Domaines rather than housing all sites under one property. Domaine Long-Depaquit in Chablis, Domaine du Pavillon in Pommard and the jewel in the crown Domaine du Clos Frantin in NSG are the organic Domaines.
What the critics say:
"The 2022 Clos des Mouches from Domaine de Pavillon has a lush, almost voluptuous fruit character that runs from green apple to passionfruit and quince paste. The texture is velvety and dense, yet there is enough freshness to give this a salty mineral note at the end. The grapes are from 0.75 hectares at the top of the slope (300 metres) in soils much more suited to white than red; they are pressed as whole clusters and fermented in cask on native yeasts, mainly in used casks, to deliver this delicious wine."
