Grape info: The vineyards of Beaune cover an extensive strip of land on the plains and slopes to the west of the town. Here, Pinot Noir tends towards a lighter, aromatic expression with a hint of spice.

About: Founded in 1831, Albert Bichot’s vineyards now encompass six estates that cover Burgundy from north to south. Working together with their grower partners, they practise sustainable viticulture with a commitment to converting fully to organic viticulture in the Côte d’Or.
