Albert Bichot

The Producer

Maison Bichot was founded in 1831 by Bernard Bichot. The family bought its first vines in 1931, in Volnay, with the desire to control all stages of production. Albert Bichot was a pioneer in international trade from the beginning of the 20th century. The following generations continued to develop this aspect of the business and made major investments in the estate with the construction of modern viticultural facilities.

The Albert Bichot House has been under the direction of Albéric Bichot since 1996. Anchored in tradition, he is also looking to the future by continuing investments, driving a transition to organic farming and working to enhance the value of Burgundy wines.

He also develops the family heritage. Today, Maison Albert Bichot is six wine estates in Burgundy, each one keeping its independence, but all with the style and quality dear to Albert Bichot.

The company practices sustainable viticulture and winemaking with as little intervention as possible. Maison Albert Bichot is deeply attached to the respect of the natural balance of the terroir, as well as the preservation of nature and the quality of the soil.

The Albert Bichot estates and wines

The terroir of Burgundy is exceptional and has become a cultural heritage in its own right: the climats of Burgundy are precisely delineated parcels of vines benefiting from specific climatic, geological and human care conditions. UNESCO recognized their "Exceptional Universal Value" in 2015 and the climats of Burgundy have thus been listed as World Heritage Sites. The six estates making up the Albert Bichot heritage are spread throughout Burgundy, from Chablis to Beaujolais, on these exceptional terroirs.

The Château Long-Depaquit

A 65-hectare vineyard, cultivated with a sustainable approach and producing several Premiers Crus and six Grands Crus cuvées. These are elegant, authentic and mineral wines. In particular, it produces the Chablis Grand Cru Moutonne, a wine made from vines in an exceptional plot with ideal climatic and geological conditions.

The Domaine de Rochegrès

Located in Moulin-à-Vent in the Beaujolais region, it consists of 3.5 hectares of old vines, most of them 80 to 100 years old. Four estates are farmed organically.

They practice natural agriculture and have obtained the Organic Agriculture certification. All their wines carry the label "organic wines" since the 2018 vintage.

The Domaine du Pavillon is in Côte de Beaune, near Pommard. Of the 15 hectares that the wine estate has, four are in monopole Pommard "Clos des Ursulines". The production has 12 cuvées including two Grands Crus, one in Chardonnay grapes and the other in Pinot Noir.

Château Gris has the particularity of having vineyards cultivated on terraces, which is quite unusual in Burgundy. Domaine Adélie has nearly eight hectares and produces high quality red and white wines.

The Domaine du Clos Frantin in Nuits-Saint-George consists of more than seven hectares in the Côte de Nuits, including nearly four hectares of Grands and Premiers Crus. The vineyards have had Organic Agriculture certification since 2012.

Today, the Albert Bichot estates operate many appellations and this great Burgundy house produces exceptional wines, while enhancing the exceptional wine heritage of the region.
