Albert Bichot’s Chablis 2022 is an excellent way to comprehend this unique terroir, characterised by its distinctive, marine fossil-rich soil (Kimmeridgian), all while staying within a reasonable budget. And to top it off, Wine Spectator awarded it a well-deserved 90 points!
The Bichot family is one of the most recognizable and respected families in the world of wine, with a rich history that dates back to 1831. Their excellence in vineyard management has placed them on the list of the most important producers in Burgundy for about 190 years, with vineyards in the Côte de Beaune and Côte de Nuits as well as Chablis. Albéric Bichot, who has been at the helm since 1996, has taken care to upgrade the entire process by adopting modern techniques and organic farming practices while preserving the very essence and character of the region.
Chablis 2022 - Albert Bichot is a very characteristic example of both Albéric Bichot’s work and the unique character of the Kimmeridgian soil of Chablis. For this reason, fermentation occurred in stainless steel tanks, which enabled the exceptional minerality and freshness to manifest freely. The 10-month stay with the lees added complexity to a wine that combines harmony, balance and purity of aromas.
Chablis 2022 by Albert Bichot exudes the unmistakable essence of its terroir at such an affordable price that you won’t be able to stop at just one bottle!
