Producer/négociant Maison Albert Bichot was founded in Beaune in 1831 and remains family-owned, with Albéric Bichot currently at the helm.
Despite being a significant player in Burgundy (it’s the leading buyer at the celebrated Hospices de Beaune auction), Maison AB leads the way in sustainability and manages to maintain the ethos and accessibility of a much smaller artisanal grower.
"Albert Bichot makes excellent wines across the whole of Burgundy, north to south. As the temperatures warm up, there's no better option than to head as far south as possible and their excellent Fleurie coming from the 'La Madone' vineyard, one of the most revered sites in Beaujolais. With a classically perfumed, floral nose, there are also lots of ripe raspberry, strawberry and cranberry fruit with a hint of baking spice on the finish. This is an ideal picnic wine, extremely versatile and even more enjoyable just slightly chilled on a hot day."

Optimal drinking window: Now - 2028

What the critics say:
"A light-bodied Fleurie that’s got plenty of pretty floral aromas, but also a gentle touch of tannin and a crisp stony acidity. Drink now while the red berry fruit is still lively."
