About this Item

Albert Bichot
Fixin 1er Cru Clos de la Perrière, 2015
6 (1 x 6) 750ml

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

‘An overtly floral, pure and airy nose displays notes of red currant and soft earth nuances. There is equally lovely purity of expression to the refined, detailed and lightly mineral-inflected flavors that culminate in a linear and solidly persistent finish. The mid-palate of this energetic effort is sufficiently supple that it could be enjoyed young if that's your preference.’ -  Allen Meadows, Burghound.com, 91/100 (Jan 2018)

‘The maiden 2015 Fixin 1er Cru Clos de la Perrière has a fragrant, perfumed bouquet with open red cherry and crushed strawberry fruit, one of the most attractive among Bichot's 2015s. The palate is medium-bodied with fleshy red cherry and raspberry fruit, good depth and a crisp line of acidity. It feels sensual towards the smooth finish, completing what is a very competent debut. I look forward to tasting more in the future.’ - Neal Martin, Wine Advocate, 90-92/100 (Dec 2016)

‘Dark and juicy, featuring black cherry, black currant and iron flavors. Tannic, yet with enough sweet fruit for balance. Offers a dusty, burly finish. Best from 2020 through 2033.’ - Bruce Spanderson, Wine Spectator, 91/100 (Oct 2018)
