WINE DESCRIPTION
The Bichot family, tracing its history back to 1214, established itself in Burgundy in 1350. Albert Bichot, founded in 1831 by Bernard Bichot in Monthélie, rapidly ascended in the 19th century, becoming the official supplier to the Swedish court. The sixth generation has helmed the independent family business since 1996, blending modernity with tradition. Albert Bichot oversees 100 hectares of vineyards across Burgundy, spanning six prestigious domains: Domaine Long-Depaquit in Chablis, Domains Clos-Frantin and Château Gris in Nuits-Saint-Georges, Domaine du Pavillon in Pommard, Domaine Adélie focusing on Mercurey wines, and Domaine de Rochegrès in Moulin À Vent. Clos des Ursulines Monopole, Domaine du Pavillon, is a Pommard Village wine from a 3.75-hectare plot, vinified in conical, temperature-controlled oak vats, aged for 14 to 16 months in oak barrels (20 to 30% new).
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Burgundy red wine unfolds a nose gradually combining fruity notes (cherry, blackcurrant, fig), coffee, and leather.On the palate, it is full-bodied and generous, revealing ripe and delicate tannins. Strength and structure persist throughout the tasting, leading to a lingering and velvety finish. Ideal with red meat, game, or wine sauces. For an optimal experience, serve this Pommard Village "Clos des Ursulines" Monopole from Domaine du Pavillon by Albert Bichot at 16-17 °C. While it's ready to enjoy, it can also be aged to fully express its aromatic range.
