Albert Bichot "Origines" Bourgogne Pinot Noir (2023)
The 2023 Vintage
Maison Albert Bichot has been family-owned for nearly two centuries, earning a reputation as one of the definitive custodians of Burgundian terroir. The "Origines" cuvée is a purposeful tribute to the house’s roots, crafted from a meticulous selection of plots across the Côte de Beaune and Côte de Nuits.
It is designed to capture the core identity of Pinot Noir: purity, elegance, and a vibrant sense of place. The grapes are grown on diverse calcareous clay soils, providing a complex mineral foundation that distinguishes this wine from simpler regional reds. The winemaking is precise and measured, using a combination of stainless steel to preserve the bright, primary fruit and a small portion of French oak to add structural depth and a silky texture.
Pouring "Origines" reflects an appreciation for one of the most historic names in France. It offers an aromatic profile of fresh raspberry and blackcurrant, underpinned by the refined, earthy undertones that characterize world-class Burgundy. It is a benchmark bottle for those seeking authentic pedigree and a polished, classic experience.
