✨ wine.spec_sheet
Albert Bichot's portfolio of Red Grand Crus represents the absolute pinnacle of Burgundy's quality hierarchy, featuring legendary climats from the Côte de Nuits and Côte de Beaune, such as Clos de Vougeot, Échezeaux, and Corton. These historic vineyards, originally mapped and cultivated by medieval Cistercian and Benedictine monks, possess unique limestone-rich terroirs that yield Pinot Noir of unparalleled depth and complexity. Bichot respects this heritage through precise, sustainable viticulture and traditional vinification. The grapes are hand-harvested and fermented with indigenous yeasts, followed by 14 to 18 months of aging in French oak barrels (typically 40% to 60% new). This careful craftsmanship coaxes out a majestic profile of dark berries, earthy forest floor, exotic spices, and velvety, structured tannins that evolve beautifully over time.
