✨ Technical Specifications
Perched high on the Montagne de Beaune, overlooking the historic capital of Burgundy wine, the Clos de l'Ermitage (often called Clos Ermitage) is a unique parcel steeped in local history. The site takes its name from the nearby chapel of Notre-Dame de l'Ermitage, where hermits once sought spiritual solitude. This high-altitude vineyard benefits from cool breezes and a limestone-dominated soil, which imparts a distinct freshness, vibrant acidity, and mineral tension to the Pinot Noir. Albert Bichot crafts this wine to highlight its bright red fruit character, utilizing traditional Burgundian vinification with gentle extraction and aging in French oak barrels to preserve its elegant structure and aromatic purity.
