Albert Bichot

While the Bichot family has called Burgundy its home since 1350, it wasn’t until 1831 that the name was associated with wine. Bernard Bichot established a wine merchant house that year just south of Beaune hence creating the early beginnings of Albert Bichot Winery. At the end of the 19th century, Bernard’s grandson Albert Bichot brought new enthusiasm to the business and relocated its headquarters to the heart of Beaune. Today, Albert Bichot is on its 6th generation of family management with Alberic Bichot as acting CEO. Albert Bichot vineyards are located within their four estates which are situated in some of the most sought-after areas of Burgundy including Chablis, Cote de Nuits, Cote de Beaune and Cote Chalonnaise according to our Albert Bichot reviews. In addition to utilizing grapes from their own vineyard sites, Albert Bichot carefully sources grapes in order to vinify and age its négociant Albert Bichot wines to their high quality standards.

Sort By:

points

Albert Bichot 2007 Domaine Long-Depaquit Les Vaillons Premier Cru Chardonnay (Chablis)

The wine has some of the steely, mineral character of Chablis, while also offering richer toast flavors. It is crisp, a delicious green edge to it, while the structure promises a few years development. — R.V. (7/1/2010)

points

Albert Bichot 2008 Domaine du Pavillon Les Charmes Premier Cru Chardonnay (Meursault)

Online Exclusive

Initially tight with a dominance of wood. Then the wine opens into greater opulence, with yellow fruits coming forward. There is a delicious, lively undertow of citrus to give balance to all this richness. — R.V. (11/1/2010)

points

Albert Bichot 2010 Vide Bourse Premier Cru Chardonnay (Chassagne-Montrachet)

Close to the white grand crus of Chassagne-Montrachet, this wine is structured and weighty, and it offers juicy apricot and pear flavors. A citrus element cuts through the wood influence and the steely texture, which brings freshness to the ripe, rich mouthfeel. — R.V. (4/1/2013)

points

Albert Bichot 2003 Domaine du Pavillon Clos des Maréchaudes Pinot Noir (Corton)

Price $100

Part of the Les Maréchaudes vineyard is grand cru Corton, while the rest is simply premier cru—go figure. It just means terroir. This wine, from the grand cru portion, is dense and tannic, typical of the wine and the vineyard. There is great juicy fruit under the tannins. An ager. Imported by Eagle Eye Imports. — R.V. (9/1/2005)

points

Albert Bichot 2005 Domaine du Pavillon Clos des Maréchaudes Pinot Noir (Corton)

Cellar Selection
Online Exclusive

Dark, spicy wood aromas, which pass through to the palate. The huge fruit is powerful, too, a fruit salad of red and black berry fruits, dominated by fresh acidity and sweet and sour acidity. Needs at least 4–5 years aging. — R.V. (3/1/2008)

points

Albert Bichot 2006 Clos des Maréchaudes Pinot Noir (Corton)

Cellar Selection

A finely perfumed wine, but one with a tight initial structure. Ripe wild strawberries and mulberries appear with dry tannins and spice from wood. The finish underlines that this is a wine for aging, with its structure and firmness. Keep for 4–5 years. — R.V. (12/31/2008)

points

Albert Bichot 2008 Les Chabiots Premier Cru Pinot Noir (Chambolle-Musigny)

Opulence and a definite streak of sold tannins combine to give a wine that has intensity, rich fruit and sweetness plus a licorice layer. The wine offers bright acidity as well over pure strawberry fruit flavors. — R.V. (12/31/2010)

points

Albert Bichot 2007 Domaine du Clos Frantin Aux Malconsorts Premier Cru Pinot Noir (Vosne-Romanée)

A wine that shows a more delicate side of the vineyard, as the texture is rounded and juicy. The structure is fully in place, hinting at licorice and black chocolate while pushing the red berry fruits forward. The final tannins are soft and open. — R.V. (12/31/2010)
