The Albert Bichot Estate owns over 60 hectares of vineyards situated in Beaune, Burgundy, in France. As part of the Bichot family consortium, the estate has been producing exquisite wines since 1831, originating from a long winemaking tradition. The vines stretch across an expanse of several different terroirs and cover the main Burgundy appellations, notably Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. The Albert Bichot Estate produces wines of exceptional quality, particularly its red wines such as Clos de la Rue, Clos des Ursules, and Corton Charlemagne. Under the expertise of its French oenologists, these wines are characterized by their intense aromas and flavors. Being located on clay-limestone, loess, and marl soils, including stony terroir for the reds, they are able to produce high-quality wines with a persisting and complex finish. The estate also offers white wines, including Corton-Charlemagne, coming from the same soils as the red and Criots-Bâtard-Montrachet, produced from the same terroirs. Even though they are produced from the same grape varietals, these wines have very distinct notes and aromas that make them unique. The wines from the Albert Bichot Estate perfectly match a range of dishes, from meat-based plates to fine cheeses. In the years to come, Albert Bichot will continue to ensure they produce excellent quality wines for the pleasure of wine connoisseurs.

Discovering the wine region of Burgundy

Bourgogne is the catch-all regional appellation title of the Burgundy wine region in eastern France ("Bourgogne" is the French name for Burgundy). Burgundy has a Complex and comprehensive appellation system; counting Premier Cru and Grand Cru titles, the region has over 700 appellation titles for its wines. Thus, Burgundy wines often come from one Vineyard (or several separate vineyards) without an appellation title specific to the region, Village or even vineyard. A standard Burgundy wine may be made from grapes grown in one or more of Burgundy's 300 communes.

Unlike Burgundy's village appellations, which specialize in red or white wines or a combination of both, Burgundy covers red, white and rosé wines, and even Sparkling wines as in the case of Crémant de Bourgogne and Bourgogne Mousseux. Each Burgundy appellation may be followed by the Color of the wine (white, red or rosé), as appropriate, and if not already implied by the appellation itself. Red Burgundy is produced almost exclusively from Pinot Noir grapes and is Distinguished from White Burgundy, which is produced from white grapes (mainly Chardonnay). A key difference between Burgundy wines and those produced under the Village, Premier Cru and Grand Cru appellations is that the grape variety used in the wine can be indicated on the label.

This has contributed to the perception and marketing of Burgundy wines in foreign markets, where a Burgundy Pinot Noir or a Burgundy Chardonnay is much easier to sell. To accommodate the different styles of wine produced in Burgundy, there are six key Burgundy appellations: Burgundy itself, Burgundy Aligoté (limited to the named white grape variety with other regulations distinguishing it from the generic regional appellation), "Bourgogne Mousseux", "Bourgogne Grand Ordinaire", Bourgogne Passe-tout and Crémant de Bourgogne. There are even two appellations dedicated to the region's brandies: Eau-de-vie de Vin de Bourgogne and Eau-de-vie de Marc de Bourgogne. Some of the above appellations may be suffixed with the name of the sub-region, village or vineyard where the grapes were grown.
