“Inviting aromas of red cherry and earthy wild berries that captivate and seduce, blending with a velvety texture, silky tannins, and a spicy, zesty acidity. Deeply concentrated and full-bodied, with harmonious mineral power on a lingering finish.” (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 vigor 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 (winemaking director), these three musketeers have successfully built a unique model for a Burgundian wine house, with Bichot-labeled wines across all the appellations of Greater Burgundy, as well as four estates rich in fine crus: Long-Depaquit for the Chablis region, 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 stood out for the consistency and quality of its wines. Things have now changed significantly. 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.

Wine rated (2024 guide) 94/100

About the wine:

The attack is characterized by a slight lightness, followed by flavors of cherry compote, blackcurrant, and savory spices. A subtle balsamic note lingers on the palate. The supple tannins are harmoniously balanced by lively acidity, giving this medium-bodied wine a lovely balance. There is no trace of new oak.
