Albert Bichot's Bourgogne Pinot Noir 'Secret de Famille' is a cleverly crafted regional wine that punches far above its weight class. The 'secret' of this cuv e lies in its sourcing: rather than relying on standard regional vineyards, Bichot selects grapes from prestigious village-level parcels in the C te de Nuits and C te de Beaune, including areas near Chambolle-Musigny, Nuits-Saint-Georges, and Pommard. This meticulous selection brings an unexpected depth, structure, and aromatic complexity to a regional appellation. The wine is aged in French oak barrels for 10 to 12 months, resulting in a charming, fruit-forward Burgundy that beautifully expresses the essence of the C te d'Or.
