Domaines Albert Bichot is one of the oldest and most respected estates in Burgundy. TheBichot family traces its history in Burgundy back to 1214, and the wine trading business under the Bichotfamily name was founded in 1831. Domaines Albert Bichot today encompasses six different estates that cover the entire Burgundy region and produce red and white wines ranging from Bourgogne and village wines to some of the top Grands Crus.
Through the generosity of Domaines Albert Bichot, we are able to present a range of red and whiteBurgundies from different estates at a ticket price well below the market value of the wines presented. We will taste wines from three of their best-known estates -Domaine du Pavillon, Domaine du Clos Frantin and Domaine Long-Depaquit - and the tasting includes wines from top premier cru and Grand Cru vineyards.
We are very pleased tohaveAlbéricBichot, representing the sixth generation of the Bichot family to run the wine business, and Richard Bampfield MW, who is well known to the Society, lead this tasting. They will guide us through the history of Domaines Albert Bichot and a very impressive list of wines, including wines from Chablis, Meursault, Corton Charlemagne, Chambolle-Musigny,Vosne-Romanéeand Échezeaux. The wines representthe 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015 vintages, all of which are critically acclaimedvintages for red and white Burgundy.
A tasting of fine Burgundies such as theseis not to be missed, and we are expecting tickets to sell quickly. Thewinesfor theeveningare:
