Maison Albert Bichot
Maison Albert Bichot
Maison Albert Bichot is one of the great names of Burgundy. This family-owned domain was founded in 1831 and now has estates stretching from Chablis in the north to Beaujolais’s Moulin-a-Vent in the south. All their estates and the growers who support them, practice sustainable viticulture. Much of the work is done by horse and hand and all fertilisers are organic. Like many of the top Burgundy domaines, intervention in the winery is kept to an absolute minimum to allow the wines to offer a taste of place.
