Producer/négociant Maison Albert Bichot was founded in Beaune in 1831 and
remains family-owned, with Albéric Bichot currently at the helm. Despite being a
significant player in Burgundy (it’s the leading buyer at the celebrated
Hospices de Beaune auction), Maison AB leads the way in sustainability and
manages to maintain the ethos and accessibility of a much smaller artisanal
grower.
"The 2019 Albert Bichot, Fleurie ‘La Madone’ from a perfectly sited single
vineyard is just so lovely and you’ll lap up the aromatic, succulent, fleshy
Gamay fruit. I even chilled it a bit which, it being quite light, worked well.
Not for nothing is Fleurie known as the Queen of Beaujolais." Jonathan Ray, The
Spectator
