Description

The minerality and aromatic richness of a Burgundy Chardonnay wine by Albert Bichot

The estate

Although the history of the Bichot family dates back to 1214, the family only settled in Burgundy in 1350. The trading house was created in Monthélie in 1831, under the impetus of Bernard Bichot, and grew rapidly during the 19th century, thus becoming the official supplier to the Royal Swedish Court. An independent, family-owned business, Albert Bichot is one of the fine names that has left its mark on the wine industry and the influence of Burgundy wines around the world. Since 1996, the family’s 6th generation has been running the company, harmoniously blending modernity with family tradition.

Today, the Albert Bichot family owns more than 100 hectares of vines that spread from the north to the south of Burgundy and are grouped under 6 prestigious estates: Domaine Long-Depaquit, located in Chablis, in the Yonne, Domaine du Clos-Frantin and Château Gris, both located in Nuits-Saint-Georges, Domaine du Pavillon, in Pommard. Dedicated to the production of Mercurey wines, Domaine Adélie was acquired by Albert Bichot in 2013. The estate is named after the first name of Albert Bichot's daughter, who was born in 2003, thus perpetuating the family legacy from one generation to another. The beautiful vineyard of Domaine de Rochegrès in the Moulin À Vent appellation joined the family business in 2014.

The vineyard

Comprised within the broad range of Domaine Long-Depaquit wines, the Chablis Premier Cru "Les Vaucopins" is a Chablis wine that truly stands out. Situated on the right bank of the Serein river, this climat has many similarities with that of the Grands Crus (southern exposure, steep slope, soil). These characteristics make it a climat with an extremly high-quality and potential. This 2018 Chablis 1er cru "Les Vaucopins" Domaine Long-Depaquit by Albert Bichot comes from a 5.2-hectare parcel whose vines are on average 31 years old and are planted on Kimmeridgian limestone subsoils.

Vinification and ageing

The wines are aged in barrels and vats for 10 months and then matured on fine lees in stainless steel tanks for 2 months.
