Description
Tasting notes
Reviewed by: James Suckling
A rich white Burgundy, showing plenty of pineapple and a touch of grapefruit with some vanilla from oak. Impressive tannin structure that compensates well for the moderate acidity on the fleshy palate. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.
About the Producer
Since 1350, the Bichot family has called Burgundy home. But, it was in 1831 that Bernard Bichot founded a merchant house bearing his name in Monthélie, a couple of kilometers south of Beaune. At the end of the 19th century, his grandson Albert Bichot took the family business into a new direction and created the winery, Maison Albert Bichot as we know it. The family heritage has been perpetuated from father to son since then. The family crest, consisting of a deer and antlers, has been synonymous with the winery since its inception.
