Jancis Robinson
“This Burgundy Grand Cru showcases Pinot Noir at its finest: absolute perfection, according to Decanter!”
“A delightful selection of blackberries, raspberries, and cherries, enveloped in notes of graphite and spicy pepper. Elegant and polished, with a sumptuous texture, silky tannins, and a timeless liveliness that lingers well beyond the finish. Absolute perfection.” (Decanter 2025)

Rated estate (2022 guide): 4 stars (Producers of the very highest quality, the pride of French viticulture)
About the estate:
This historic winery, founded in 1831, is now run with great energy by Albéric Bichot, the sixth generation of a family whose presence in Burgundy dates back to the 13th century. Supported by Alain Serveau (technical director) and Christophe Chavel (wine director), these three musketeers have successfully built a unique model of a Burgundian winery, with Bichot-labeled wines across all the appellations of Greater Burgundy, as well as four estates rich in fine crus: Long-Depaquit for Chablis, Clos-Frantin for the Côte de Nuits, Domaine du Pavillon for the Côte de Beaune, and Domaine Adélie for the Côte Chalonnaise.

Rated estate (2022 guide) Selected (Please note that this guide is a ranking, and as such, all the estates listed here—even those without a star—represent, in our view, the pinnacle of French winemaking.)
About the estate:
This historic Beaune winery, led by Albéric Bichot since 1996, has not always been known for the consistency and quality of its wines. Things have changed significantly since then. Under the Albert Bichot label, you’ll find wines from six estates: Long-Depaquit in Chablis (see this address), Clos Frantin and Château-Gris in the Côte de Nuits, Domaine du Pavillon, Domaine Adélie in the Côte Chalonnaise, and Domaine de Rochegrès in Beaujolais. Each of these estates has its own winemaking facilities and dedicated teams, led by the general technical director, Alain Serveau.

About the wine:
A vibrant array of fresh red berries, with minerality coming through like streaks of graphite. Peppery notes. Very elegant. Excellent balance. Fresh and lively, yet concentrated. Best enjoyed between 2029 and 2040.
