Albert Bichot : Pommard Village "Clos des Ursulines" Monopole Dom. du Pavillon 2022

The refinement and freshness of a Burgundy red wine

The estate

While the history of the Bichot family dates back to 1214, it was in 1350 that they settled in Burgundy. The trading house created in Monthélie in 1831, under the impetus of Bernard Bichot, 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 mark the viticultural landscape and the influence of Burgundy wines. Today, the 6th generation has been running the company since 1996, harmoniously blending modernity with family tradition.

The Albert Bichot house is now 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 vineyard

Located near the center of the village of Pommard, this Clos was initially the property of the sisters of the Ursuline convent. The "Clos des Ursulines" Monopole Domaine du Pavillon of Albert Bichot is a Pommard wine Village from a plot of 3.75 hectares. The vines, aged 30 to 40 years, are planted on clay-limestone soils with white marls.
