Domaine Albert Bichot - 1996 - Domaine Du Clos Frantin Clos Vougeot - 750 ml.

Domaine Albert Bichot bottles this 1996 Pinot Noir under its Domaine du Clos Frantin label, from Clos de Vougeot. At roughly 50 hectares, that grand cru is the largest in the Cote de Nuits and is divided among dozens of proprietors, so which parcel and which grower matter more than the appellation name on its own. Cistercian monks assembled the vineyard in the twelfth century.
