    The wine

    Characterised by the great variety of its terroirs, Gevrey-Chambertin is here represented by this cuvée at once powerful and persistent. The wine carries aromas of red and black fruits, musk and leather. The palate is silky and well-structured by superb tannins. We advise you to wait at least 5 years to appreciate this wine with characterful dishes such as red meat and small game.

    Information about domain Albert Bichot

    Albert Bichot is an illustrious maison of Burgundy. The family settled in Burgundy in 1350 but it was only in the 19th century that it became interested in the vine and vineyards. In 1831, Bernard Bichot developed a trading house in his name. Since 1996, Alberic Bichot (6th generation) has been working to raise the quality of wines produced. He acquired many plots, meaning that the maison now has 100 hectares of vineyards. Here we find the Clos Frantin on the Côte de Nuits, the Domaine du Pavillon and the Domaine Adélie on the Chalonnaise coast as well as the Domaine Long Depaquit in Chablis. These wines are certified as organic. At the same time, the maison carries out its trading business by purchasing only carefully selected grapes. The wines are all vinified in Beaune under the leadership of the very talented Alain Serveaux.
