Since 1350, the Bichot family has called Burgundy home. But, it was in 1831 that Bernard Bichot founded a merchant house bearing his name in Monthélie, a couple of kilometers south of Beaune. At the end of the 19th century, his grandson Albert Bichot took the family business into a new direction and created the winery, Maison Albert Bichot as we know it. The family heritage has been perpetuated from father to son since then. The family crest, consisting of a deer and antlers, has been synonymous with the winery since its inception.
This Beaujolais has an attractive intense ruby red color. Delectable, fresh and typical nose with notes of strawberry and candy. The mouth is refreshing, round and smooth on the palate. The finale is long, refreshing and remains on fruit. This wine is packed with ripe fruit with a texture giving just the right amount of tannin. The wine has medium weight, the result of the clay soil in which the vines grow. Tank aging has preserved the cherry flavors and crisp acidity.
