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 2010 Clos Prieur Pinot Noir (Gevrey-Chambertin)

This is a smoky, fragrant wine that offers dense fruit and firm tannins. It has the structure of a fine Gevrey and the concentration of the vintage. This is classic and worth aging for 4–5 years. — R.V. (4/1/2013)

points

Albert Bichot 2003 Domaine Long-Depaquit Les Vaucopins Premier Cru Chardonnay (Chablis)

Online Exclusive

This full-flavored wine still has a fine crispness and fresh acidity. There are layers of toast on the pure green fruits. The aftertaste is delicious, fresh and crisp. — R.V. (12/31/2006)

points

Albert Bichot 2006 Domaine du Pavillon Chardonnay (Meursault)

A creamy wine, with fresh acidity touched with spicy wood. It has the comfortable, plump feel of Meursault, but with some crispness. There are good citrus and white fruit flavors, even apricots, and then the acidity leaves a lifted, lively finish. — R.V. (5/1/2009)

points

Albert Bichot 2008 Chardonnay (Savigny-lès-Beaune)

Online Exclusive

Mouth-watering in its bright, pear juice freshness, this is a crisp and lemony wine, touched by cream with a tight texture layered by wood. The acidity is crisp, dominant. — R.V. (11/1/2010)

points

Albert Bichot 2010 Chardonnay (Saint-Aubin)

Online Exclusive

This is a round, generous and ripe wine, with attractive yellow-fruit flavors and finely textured acids. A hint of wood gives an additional complexity. — R.V. (4/1/2013)

points

Albert Bichot 2010 Chardonnay (Savigny-lès-Beaune)

This is a textured, dense and concentrated selection that has notes of white fruits and white flowers. It’s a wine for medium-term aging. — R.V. (4/1/2013)

points

Albert Bichot 2004 Domaine du Clos Frantin Les Malconsorts Premier Cru Pinot Noir (Vosne-Romanée)

Price $122

Ripe, soft, sweet fruit gives this wine great charm. There are some tannins, but in the big picture, they disappear behind the ripe strawberries and the touches of wood. Acidity is there, but more in the feel than in taste. — R.V. (3/1/2007)

points

Albert Bichot 2005 Domaine du Pavillon Clos des Ursulines Pinot Noir (Pommard)

Online Exclusive

With firm tannins and rich fruit, this shows rich raspberry and toast flavors as well as a fine depth of intense structure and sweet acidity. — R.V. (3/1/2008)
