Albert Bichot Description

Since 1350, the Bichot family has called Burgundy home. In 1831, Bernard Bichot founded a merchant house bearing his name a couple of kilometers south of Beaune. At the end of the 19th century, his grandson Albert Bichot took the family business into a new direction and created the winery, Maison Albert Bichot as we know it. The family heritage has been perpetuated since then. Albert Bichot has acquired 250 acres of vineyards in the most reputed growing areas throughout Burgundy. The family crest, consisting of a deer and antlers, has been synonymous with the winery since its inception.

The 2017 Latricières-Chambertin Grand Cru is endowed with impressive intensity on a nose of blackberry, raspberry and scorched earth scents, becoming more floral with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, pure red cherry and crushed strawberry fruit and a caressing, sensual finish. Maybe one of the earlier-drinking Latricières, but well-crafted and enjoyable. (Drink between 2022-2034)
