The property

While the history of the Bichot family dates back to 1214, it was finally in 1350 that they decided to settle in Burgundy. From then on, the doe, the family's coat of arms, will go through the centuries and will impose itself as the emblem of the House. The trading house was founded in Monthélie in 1831, under the impetus of Bernard Bichot. It experienced a rapid rise during the 19th century, becoming notably the official supplier to the Court of Sweden. An independent and family-owned house, Albert Bichot is one of those great names that have marked the wine landscape and the influence of Burgundy wines. Today, the 6th generation of the Albert Bichot family has taken over the reins of the company since 1996, perpetuating the family heritage with the right dose of modernity.

The vineyard

The Albert Bichot house is today at the head of more than 100 hectares of vineyards, spread from north to south of Burgundy, and grouped into 6 prestigious domains: the Domaine Long-Depaquit, located in Chablis, in the Yonne, the Domaine du Clos-Frantin and Château Gris, both located in Nuits-Saint-Georges, the Domaine du Pavillon, in Pommard. Dedicated to the wines of Mercurey, it was in 2013 that the Domaine Adélie was bought by Albert Bichot. The domain bears this name in tribute to the first name of Albert Bichot's daughter, born in 2003, thus perpetuating the family heritage, from generation to generation. The beautiful vineyard of the Domaine de Rochegrès in the Moulin À Vent appellation joined the family business in 2014.

The wine

This cuvée is a Chablis wine made from several plots spread over a total area of 40 hectares, where the vines benefit from Kimmeridgian clay-limestone soils, thus giving this cuvée exceptional complexity and structure.

Vinification in stainless steel tanks, as well as aging for a period of 10 months on fine lees.

Chardonnay (100%).
