Description

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.

Albéric Bichot joined the company in the early 90s and took over its management in 1996. Though he fully respects family traditions, he is completely focused on the future. He compares himself to the "conductor of an orchestra, proud to bring people and their talents together over a common project.

“Secret de Famille” (Family Secret) comes from a very limited and specific geographical area; it is indeed crafted from a carefully sourced blend of grapes (vineyards situated in renowned villages like Chambolle-Musigny, Nuits-Saint-Georges, Marsannay…)

This charming wine features predominant fruity aromas of blackcurrant and wild red berries. Velvety and silky, this wine boasts soft, balanced structure on the palate, which ends with a delicately perfumed finish.
