2019 Albert Bichot Meursault Blanc 750 ml

With three Winemaker of the Year titles under their belt, Albert Bichot is a Burgundy stalwart that Decanter called “one of the region’s most dynamic, quality-focused” domaines—remarkable praise, considering Burgundy’s host of internationally-renowned estates.

Bichot’s 2019 Meursault shows off their laser-focus on quality, capturing the classic combination of richness and raciness that collectors covet. It's equal to its single-vineyard peers in quality, but miles ahead in value—proof positive of why we keep coming back to Bichot wines.

Called “the heartland of white Burgundy” by Master of Wine Jancis Robinson, Meursault has no Grand Cru vineyards, so smart buyers know that village-level wines like this one seriously overdeliver. Even smarter buyers know that Albert Bichot, a Côte d'Or landowner since the 14th century, has access to in-demand vineyards and an uncanny knack for getting amazing value from sought-after regions, without sacrificing quality. 

Every year, we’re thoroughly impressed with how an estate that perennially delivers Wine Access favorites can continue to surprise us—a testament to how Albéric Bichot, of the family’s sixth generation, continues to push the envelope on quality. He collected Winemaker of the Year awards from Le Journal de Paris and International Wine Challenge, as well as the prestigious International Trophies from the Decanter World Wine Awards. 

This Meursault proudly continues the trend. After drawing bright acidity from calcareous clay with white marl, the wine spent over 14 months in up to 35% new French oak, rounding out its flavors and adding the depth that marks Meursault standouts. This is Meursault prestige meeting Bichot know-how in spectacular fashion.
