The estate
Founded in 1831 in Monthélie by Bernard Bichot, the house Albert Bichot belongs to a family lineage rooted in Bourgogne since the 14th century. Still independent and family-run, it is now led by the sixth generation. It embodies a subtle balance between tradition and innovation, with a clear commitment to preserving the typicity of each terroir. Recognized as one of Burgundy’s great names, the house is also renowned for its rigorous grape selection and its commitment to sustainable viticulture.
The vineyard
The Albert Bichot estate farms over 100 hectares spread across the main appellations of Bourgogne.
The wine
This Puligny-Montrachet comes from the Côte de Beaune, on plots with clay-limestone soils rich in marl. This exceptional terroir promotes a mineral and delicate expression of chardonnay, emblematic of the appellation.
Vinification and aging
The harvest is carried out by hand, followed by meticulous sorting. Gentle pressing preserves the fruit’s integrity. Fermentation and aging on fine lees take place in oak barrels for 14 to 16 months, 20 to 30% of which are new wood, providing complexity and structure without masking the wine’s finesse.
Grape variety
This wine is made from 100% chardonnay.
