Tasting notes
Sweet Spot - Here the even spicier nose is comprised by notes of red cherry, dark currant and a lovely array of floral elements. There is excellent volume, concentration and power to the vibrant larger-bodied flavors that retain good focus on the dusty, sappy, firmly austere and compact finale. This isn't a huge Malconsorts but it's indisputably built-to-age and extended patience will absolutely be necessary.

Bichot's Domaine du Clos Frantin is the largest proprietor in Malconsorts. The wine in 2022 is initially a bit closed but opens with time on the palate to show a ripe, plummy fruit with notes of earth and spice and a serious wine's dense, concentrated texture. The grapes are from a large parcel of more than 1.75 hectares on the southern edge of the climat. The parcel is divided by a wall, with a sandier terroir above the wall and more clay below the wall; combining the two gives a lovely, complete, complex wine.
