Domaine Albert Bichot (Clos Frantin)

Domaine Albert Bichot is one of Burgundy's most significant negociant houses, but the Clos Frantin domaine — its estate wine division — farms prestigious holdings in Vosne-Romanee, Clos de Vougeot, and Nuits-Saint-Georges, with the Aux Malconsorts premier cru in Vosne-Romanee as its most critically acclaimed holding. Malconsorts, a south-facing premier cru at the boundary with Richebourg, is considered one of Burgundy's premier crus most deserving of grand cru elevation. At auction, 137 lots have traded at an average of $194, ranging from $85 to $1,220. Vosne-Romanee Aux Malconsorts averages $161 across 55 lots; Clos Frantin (branded within the Clos de Vougeot grand cru) averages $159 across 36 lots; Clos de Vougeot grand cru averages $261 across 23 lots. The $1,220 ceiling reflects large-format older vintages from benchmark Burgundy years like 2005, 2010, or 2015. Wine Advocate has scored the top cuvees 94-97 in strong vintages.

Vosne-Romanee Aux Malconsorts — widely considered a virtual grand cru at the boundary of Richebourg — averages $161 at auction across 55 lots; the cru's proximity to La Tache drives collector interest.
Clos de Vougeot grand cru bottling averages $261 across 23 lots, the highest per-bottle tier in the portfolio, with top vintages (2005, 2010, 2015) scoring 94-97 from Wine Advocate.
137 lots average $194 per bottle — solidly in Burgundy's collectible grand cru range — with the $1,220 ceiling reflecting large-format bottles or library vintages of the estate's best parcels.
The Clos Frantin domaine is Albert Bichot's entirely estate-grown wine division, distinct from the negociant range, farming its own premier and grand cru parcels in Vosne-Romanee and Clos de Vougeot.

In the Glass

Vosne-Romanee and Clos de Vougeot Pinot Noir: Malconsorts shows dark cherry, violet, iron, and the dense, silky texture of Vosne's finest soils — brooding and structured but with remarkable perfume. Clos de Vougeot delivers more power and body from its clay-rich soils. Clos Frantin branded wines sit stylistically between the two. All require 10+ years to show their best, developing cedar, truffle, and sous-bois complexity with age.
