The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine Repeatedly distinguished and praised by international critics, Albert Bichot is part of the exclusive circle of the most prestigious houses in Burgundy. Carefully selected parcels, harvesting at full maturity, and controlled aging processes that respect the identity of each terroir are the pillars of this Burgundian institution recognized well beyond our borders.

Led with sensitivity by Albéric Bichot, the architect of its rise, this House has become an essential reference in Burgundy today.
Wine Originating from vines near Chassagne-Montrachet, the 2018 white Santenay unfolds with vibrant energy, supported by fresh fruit, refined and creamy oak, and a slight noble vegetal touch that adds freshness. The palate is dynamic, graceful, and refined, with a lovely balance. This wine is ready to drink over the next three to five years.
Vinification Vinified in oak barrels for 6 to 12 weeks, including 20% new oak, then aged in oak barrels for 14 to 16 months.
