United in Diversity.
In the heart of Burgundy, where centuries of winemaking tradition echo through picturesque vineyards and storied cellars, Maison Albert Bichot stands as a luminous example of family heritage, vision, and craftsmanship. Guided by the Bichot family since 1831—and with a lineage in Burgundy reaching back to 1350—this esteemed house continues to define and elevate the very essence of Burgundian wine.
A Heritage Etched in Burgundy’s Soil
Maison Albert Bichot’s journey began in the 19th century, but its roots delve far deeper, intertwining with the history of the region itself. Over six generations, the Bichot family has weathered the shifting tides of the wine world, transitioning from simple négociant to guardian and cultivator of some of Burgundy’s most celebrated terroirs. Their foresight in acquiring vineyards from Chablis to Beaujolais has given them a profound intimacy with the land—a connection that resonates in every bottle they produce.
A Mosaic of Great Terroirs
What distinguishes Maison Albert Bichot is its unique structure: six distinct estates, each with its own microclimate, soil, and local expertise. From the crystalline precision of Domaine Long-Depaquit in Chablis to the stately reds of Domaine du Clos Frantin in Nuits-Saint-Georges, the range is a living atlas of Burgundy’s renowned crus.
The family’s steadfast commitment to sustainable viticulture—culminating in organic certification across all estate vineyards—places environmental stewardship at the core of their philosophy. This not only preserves the legacy for future generations but also ensures each wine faithfully translates its origin, unembellished and authentic.
Tradition Meets Innovation
Maison Albert Bichot’s cellars are a study in contrasts: vaulted, centuries-old spaces housing state-of-the-art equipment, where the practice of gravity-fed vinification and gentle handling of fruit allows terroir to shine. The winemaking itself is a restrained art, blending intuition with technical acumen. Minimal intervention, nuanced use of oak, and rigorous selection yield wines of remarkable clarity, elegance, and aging potential.
