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 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)

points

Albert Bichot 2008 Les Porrets Saint-Georges Premier Cru Pinot Noir (Nuits-St.-Georges)

The tannins here are fine, dusty almost, giving the wine a softer core than is normal for this vineyard. Around the tannins, the jammy blackberry fruits give a sweet side to the flavors. Rich and soft. — R.V. (12/31/2010)

points

Albert Bichot 2010 Domaine du Pavillon Les Santenots Premier Cru Pinot Noir (Volnay)

Online Exclusive

Typical of Volnay, this wine has a velvety character that surrounds the firm tannins. The acidity is palpable through the warm red-berry flavors and firm edge. It is certainly a wine for aging, although it is also likely to be drinkable in 2–3 years. — R.V. (4/1/2013)

points

Albert Bichot 2010 Domaine du Clos Frantin Les Murots Pinot Noir (Gevrey-Chambertin)

Packed with ripe black- and red-fruit flavors, this wine is dense and concentrated. The rich, generous fruit comes with a complex minerally edge, and it shows the wood influence in the form of a spice note. Age this at least six years. — R.V. (4/1/2013)

points

Albert Bichot 2010 Domaine du Clos Frantin Pinot Noir (Vosne-Romanée)

This wine has equal amounts of ripe berry fruit and structure. There is a smoky character, wood and spice notes, balanced acidity and a leather-like touch to the texture. It is slowly developing, and it has the potential to be rich. Age this for 6–8 years. — R.V. (4/1/2013)
