Albert Bichot

With nearly 100 appellations produced across Burgundy and Beaujolais, the House offers exceptional breadth and expertise across the region. Founded in 1831, Albert Bichot is an independent, family-owned House now managed by the sixth generation, Albéric Bichot. Since then, they have consistently developed a unique position in Burgundy, combining the expertise of a historic négociant with the authenticity of its own vineyard holdings. At the heart of the Albert Bichot portfolio are its own vineyard estates, four of which are represented by Alliance and each with its own identity and terroir: Domaine Long-Depaquit one of Chablis' leading estates – 52 Ha. Domaine du Clos Frantin exceptional vineyard holdings in the Côte de Nuits – 13 Ha. Château-Gris a boutique, elegant expression of Nuits-Saint-Georges in the Côte de Nuits – 3 Ha. Domaine du Pavillon prestigious Côte de Beaune vineyards – 19 Ha. Across all four estates, the philosophy remains consistent: careful vineyard management, organic and sustainable viticulture, low intervention and precise winemaking designed to express the individual character of each site.

Viticulture

The vineyard is central to Albert Bichot’s philosophy, with certified organic viticulture across its estate vineyards and the same organic principles applied to the grapes sourced from its long-standing grower partners. Intervention is kept to a minimum, with controlled yields, careful soil management and close attention to the natural balance of each vineyard. From the mineral soils of Chablis at Domaine Long-Depaquit to the prestigious vineyards of the Côte de Nuits and Côte de Beaune, each parcel is managed individually to preserve its identity and produce healthy, expressive fruit.

Winemaking

Albert Bichot follows a precise, low-intervention approach to winemaking, adapting techniques to each estate, vineyard and appellation. Individual parcels are vinified separately wherever possible, with gentle extraction and careful temperature control. Stainless steel is used to preserve purity and freshness, while oak ageing is employed selectively according to the style of each wine. The aim throughout is to produce wines with purity, elegance and precision while allowing each terroir to remain clearly identifiable.
