Bichot family is considered one of the most emblematic in the wine world, with its reputation going beyond the borders of Burgundy and spreading across the world map. Their reputation has remained steadfast for nearly two centuries. Their privately owned vineyards extend throughout Burgundy from north to south. At the same time, they operate as négociants, actively seeking out exceptional quality grapes in the villages and crus of Burgundy. In 1996, Albert Bichot made a significant change for the winery by adopting organic farming practices. This decision allowed the terroir to shine through, showcasing its unique and complex characteristics.
For Albert Bichot's Bourgogne Chardonnay Origines 2022, the grapes were carefully selected from vineyards of different altitudes, orientations and soils, composing a mosaic that expresses the multidimensional terroir of Burgundy. Eighty percent of the wine was fermented in stainless steel tanks, while twenty percent was fermented in French oak barrels. The wine matured there (both in oak barrels and tanks) for 9-11 months, in contact with the lees, which gave it rich texture, exceptional balance, and profound complexity.
