"A standout at Wine Paris 2026, and critical acclaim for this monopole Premier Cru from Nuits-Saint-Georges!"
“Produced at a small terraced vineyard spanning just a few hectares, this wine is intense, concentrated, and lively, brimming with energy and tension thanks to its lovely acidity and moderate tannins. Bright, crisp aromas of raspberry, cranberry, mineral, and crushed stone give way to a tight, firm texture that will need time to open up and reveal its full potential for complexity. Made from organically grown grapes.” (James Suckling 2024)

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 (winemaking director), these three musketeers have successfully built a unique model for a Burgundian winery, with Bichot wines spanning all the appellations of Greater Burgundy, as well as four estates rich in fine crus: Long-Depaquit in the Chablis region, Clos-Frantin in the Côte de Nuits, Domaine du Pavillon in the Côte de Beaune, and Domaine Adélie in the Côte Chalonnaise.

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 certainly changed now. 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:
With a purple-tinged color, this Nuits-Garden is very approachable. Its intense, ripe aromas of juicy, flavorful black fruits evoke black plum pits and blueberry jam. With a structure of surgical precision, its juicy palate is harmoniously framed by lively acidity and silky, well-defined tannins. This wine is AB-certified organic.
