✨ Technical Specifications
Maison Albert Bichot's regional Bourgogne Rouge represents a masterclass in capturing the essential spirit of Burgundy in an accessible, elegant frame. Sourced from a mosaic of sustainably farmed vineyards across the Côte de Nuits, Côte de Beaune, and Côte Chalonnaise, this wine benefits from the diverse clay-limestone terroirs that define the region. The Bichot family, established in Beaune since 1831, utilizes traditional vinification techniques, combining temperature-controlled stainless steel fermentation to preserve fresh red fruit characteristics with a period of aging in oak barrels and vats to add subtle structure and spice. Historically, regional Bourgogne wines served as the daily drink of the local winemakers, and today, this bottling continues that legacy of conviviality, offering a pure, vibrant expression of Pinot Noir that reflects centuries of Burgundian viticultural heritage.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in 1831 by Bernard Bichot in Monthélie and relocated to Beaune in 1912, Maison Albert Bichot represents six generations of Burgundian wine merchant and domaine prestige. Under the leadership of Albéric Bichot, the family has developed a mosaic of six autonomous domaines spanning over 100 hectares from Chablis to Beaujolais: Domaine Long-Depaquit, Domaine du Clos Frantin, Château-Gris, Domaine du Pavillon, Domaine Adélie, and Domaine de Rochegrès. The estate vineyards in the Côte de Nuits, Côte de Beaune, and Côte Chalonnaise hold Ecocert organic certification, farmed with meticulous soil preservation and site-specific viticulture. Vinification emphasizes non-interventionist principles, gravity-fed cellar handling, ambient yeast fermentations, and delicate oak maturation tailored to each terroir's character. The house is celebrated for benchmark expressions including its iconic Chablis Grand Cru monopole La Moutonne, Grand Cru bottlings from Chambertin and Clos de Vougeot, and a legacy as one of the premier buyers at the Hospices de Beaune auctions.
