Another stellar set of wines from Albert Bichot. Bichot continues its unwavering commitment to excellence, crafting wines of precision and elegance. Certified organic since 2018, the domaine integrates sustainability into its approach, ensuring a thoughtful balance between tradition and innovation.
"Bottled in early September, this wine offers an expressive bouquet of white stone fruits, fresh lemon, and floral undertones. The palate delivers vibrant acidity with a well-balanced structure, showing roundness and generosity alongside a satisfying weight and a long, refreshing finish."
Our note
The 2023 vintage, shaped by Matthieu Mangenot’s expertise, reflects a shift from the previous year with less use of whole bunch fermentation, focusing instead on purity and clarity of fruit. Across the range, the wines showcase impressive structure, vibrant acidity, and nuanced expressions of their respective terroirs, promising early approachability for some and significant aging potential for others.
What the critics say:
"Excellent concentration and ripe fruit are balanced by the typical Chablis mineral and citrus character and backed by vivid acidity. It’s medium-bodied, well balanced, quite smooth, almost broad in texture with a lingering finish. A portion was fermented in neutral oak. From organically grown grapes. Drink now or hold."
"Hints of white pepper, anise and seaweed add interest to the aromas of poached pear and pretty white floral scents. The rich, generous and reasonably vibrant middle weight flavors exude a subtle bead of minerality on the attractively dry if mildly warm finale. This should be enjoyable young but a few years of keeping should help add depth."
