The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine Honoured many times over and praised by international critics, Albert Bichot belongs to the exclusive circle of Burgundy’s most prestigious houses. Carefully selected parcels, harvests at optimal ripeness, and perfectly judged barrel aging that respects the identity of each terroir—these are the pillars of this renowned Burgundian institution whose reputation extends far beyond France.
Wine The 2020 Pouilly-Fuissé White is already highly enjoyable, opening with subtle honeyed notes in a style reminiscent of a well-developed Chablis. Its dense, supple texture retains plenty of freshness, creating a structured, generous wine with excellent aging potential. It’s best enjoyed at the table—try it alongside a vol-au-vent or classic pike quenelles.
Vinification Hand harvested. Fermentation and ageing on fine lees for 8 to 9 months, 70% in stainless steel vats and 30% in oak barrels.
