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.

Albert Bichot 2005 Domaine Long-Depaquit Les Bougnons Premier Cru Chardonnay (Chablis)

Closed up and firm with a hint of vanilla, honey and refined acidity. There is some crispness here, green apples and a plum skin character. This is going to be serious Chardonnay; the minerality already in evidence. — R.V. (2/1/2008)

points

Albert Bichot 2005 Domaine Long-Depaquit Les Lys Premier Cru Chardonnay (Chablis)

This is definitely young, but the fresh fruit is already very apparent. There’s a lifted, vibrant apple character that opens in the mouth to give yellow fruits with a finish of steel and gun flint sharpness. — R.V. (2/1/2008)

points

Albert Bichot 2006 Domaine du Pavillon Les Charmes Premier Cru Chardonnay (Meursault)

A full-bodied wine that is rich and generous. It has spice from new wood, honey and buttered toast, as well as a delicious soft acidity that is mouthwatering. The fat texture introduces an apple and pear finish. — R.V. (5/1/2009)

points

Albert Bichot 2003 Domaine du Pavillon Les Rugiens Premier Cru Pinot Noir (Pommard)

Price $90

A beautifully structured wine, with red fruit flavors that are immediately attractive. Yet there are enough tannins here to age it over 5 years or more. Imported by Eagle Eye Imports. — R.V. (9/1/2005)

points

Albert Bichot 2004 Domaine du Clos Frantin Les Murots Pinot Noir (Gevrey-Chambertin)

Price $60

Dark and tannic, this is a wine that has power and a dense structure. Put this dry, firm character down to youth, because there is clean, ripe red berry fruit there that needs 2–3 years to tame the tannins. The finish is dry, but there is a good lift of acidity. — R.V. (3/1/2007)

points

Albert Bichot 2006 Domaine du Pavillon Clos des Maréchaudes Premier Cru Pinot Noir (Aloxe-Corton)

Exhibiting all the ripeness and richness of an Aloxe-Corton, this wine revels in delicious raspberry fruits, topped with red currant acidity. The wine rolls around the mouth, with a velvet texture on top of some firm tannins. There is a complex sweet and sour aftertaste, as the ripe fruit combines with fresh acidity. — R.V. (12/31/2008)

points

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

A firm wine, celebrating its tannins as well as its sweet fruit. There is a tightness to the structure, with a dry core of wood and fruit tannins followed by strawberry fruits, sweet red plums and a final burst of the freshest acidity. — R.V. (10/1/2009)

points

Albert Bichot 2007 Domaine du Pavillon Clos des Maréchaudes Pinot Noir (Corton)

There is good weight here. Its richness and fruits offer light red plum textures, a dry tannic character as well as some good power. Complexity and sweetness both promote a concentrated wine. — R.V. (7/1/2010)
