Vintage information 2006:

The reds: Impressive in the Côte de Nuits - almost 2005 quality. Côte de Beaune's are typically more reticent, many are fine, but it's better to test before you buy full cases. Quality spreads between good, sophisticated medium-term drinkers - tasty wines - and more structured medium-plus term wines from later bottlers - buy if you're happy with prices.
For Whites: there are plenty of overblown, flabby wines from later pickers, but the best straddle a divide between the rich 05s and the fresher 04s

2006 Bichot Albert, Bourgogne Pinot Noir Vieilles VignesApr. 2008
Ever-candid, my contact at Bichot tells me it is often economically stupid to vinify yourself an entry-level burgundy, but this is the task they set themselves. Medium-plus colour. The nose is soft, dark and a litlle musky – but with quite polished fruit. Good ripeness and plenty of tannin with a faintly lingering finish. A clean and tasty wine which I expect to be great value
