About this Item
The first traces of the Bichot family date back to 1214 and records show that they settled in Burgundy in 1350 – in their fief of Châteauneuf-en-Auxois. In 1831, Bernard Bichot founded a wine trading business in his name in Monthélie. Passed down from father to son since 1831, Albéric Bichot (the 6th generation) joined the company in the early 90s and took over its management in 1996. While he fully respects family traditions, he is completely focused on the future. Searching for the finest grapes, Albert Bichot has gradually bought vineyards in the most sought-after locations in Burgundy. Today, Albert Bichot owns six outstanding domaines with the finest Burgundy terroirs in Chablis, Côte de Nuits, Côte de Beaune, Côte Chalonnaise and the Beaujolais.

Critics Ratings
'Restrained aroma but there is a depth of stony lemon fruit waiting to emerge. Dense and dry and beautifully balanced between depth of fruit and zesty refreshing intensity. Very long and almost gentle – for Chablis – on the finish.' - Julia Harding MW, JancisRobinson.com, 17.5/20 (Dec 2013)
'While not in the official canon of Grand Crus, La Moutonne is definitely in grand cru territory, a parcel that is divided between Les Preuses and Vaudésir. The 2012 is very structured, dense and textured, with a strongly tannic character packed with minerality. Time will bring out its fruit and richness. Drink from 2019.' - Roger Voss, Wine Enthusiast, 95/100 (Oct 2015)
