Maison Albert Bichot has been passed down for 6 generations since 1831 and today it manages individual Domaines rather than housing all sites under one property. Domaine Long-Depaquit in Chablis, Domaine du Pavillon in Pommard and the jewel in the crown Domaine du Clos Frantin in NSG are the organic Domaines. Having supported the team for a number of vintages we have been able to acquire decent allocations across all three and are thrilled to be able to offer their top wines. "From a limestone rich lieu-dit almost on the northern border with Volnay, this is a super site for Meursault and in 2020 the wine really shines. Like Baby Bear’s porridge – everything is just right: Orchard and citrus fruits plus a little spice on the nose, then you get the intensity of concentration of the vintage and plenty of ripeness and mid-palate density, but also cooler fruit and a fresh salty vein of acidity. Really pleasurable now, but will doubtless evolve with another year or so in bottle." Tom Harrow, Head Wine Guru
