Albert Bichot is a Burgundy stalwart that Decanter called “one of the region’s most dynamic, quality-focused” domaines—remarkable praise, considering the region’s host of internationally-renowned estates. Bichot has owned land there since the 14th century, and over the years they’ve built one of the most enviable collections of vineyards and have an uncanny knack for getting amazing value from sought-after regions while keeping quality sky-high. Little wonder, when you consider the pedigree of the Bichot family, wine producers since 1831.

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. That’s seriously impressive praise, considering Burgundy’s host of internationally renowned estates. Bichot has owned land in Burgundy since the 14th century and been producing wine since 1831, and over the years they’ve built one of the most enviable collections of vineyards in the Côte de Beaune and the Côte de Nuits, allowing them to tap into top terroirs.

The fact that Bichot continues to surprise is a testament to the leadership of Albéric Bichot, from the family’s sixth generation. 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.

Quality and longevity are synonymous with the Bichot name, but the house refuses to rest on its laurels. Albéric implemented organic and sustainable viticulture in the family’s vineyards, and this approach serves as a template for farming in Bichot’s partner vineyards as well. Teamwork is also a hallmark of Bichot: Albéric compares himself to the "conductor of an orchestra, proud to bring people and their talents together over a common project."

Bichot always keeps pushing the envelope on quality—and both the critics and wine lovers have noticed.

Quality and longevity are synonymous with the Bichot name, but the current generation, led by Albéric Bichot, refuses to rest on its laurels. He's 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, and still continues to push the envelope on quality, introducing organic viticulture in the family’s Cote d’Or vineyards.
