The Bichot family has been established in Burgundy since 1350. Founded in 1831 by Bernard Bichot as a wine trading business, Domaines Albert Bichot currently owns six outstanding estates throughout Burgundy. The wines come from Burgundy, Beaujolais and Chablis. Albert Bichot is one of the Top 3 Burgundy producers worldwide. They have 105 hectares, 87 of which are certified biologique.

Albert Bichot has received several accolades, including Head Winemaker Alain Serveau’s Best Winemaker Awards from International Wine Challenge.

The first traces of the Bichot family date back to 1214. They settled in Burgundy in 1350, in their stronghold of Châteauneuf-en-Auxois. The family's coat of arms has not changed since nor has its symbol, a doe.

In 1831, Bernard Bichot founded a wine trading business in his name in Monthélie. His son, Hippolyte, succeeded him and bought the first vines in Volnay, already convinced that upstream control was essential. His son, Albert Bichot, the first to bear the name, gave the family business new momentum in the late 19th century and settled in the center of Beaune once and for all in 1912.

The second Albert Bichot, who was born in 1900, was a pioneer of international commerce. North America, Asia, Oceania… He traveled incessantly in order to introduce our wines, which were already recognized as being among the best, to wine lovers around the world.

In the second half of the 20th century, his four sons, Albert, Bernard, Bénigne and Jean-Marc, inherited this know-how. A new era of expansion began with the construction of a large aging cellar, a new bottling center and winery. Our wines are available in all of the world's continents.
