Albert Bichot Description
In northern Burgundy, not far from Auxerre, the Chablis appellation stretches across approximately fifteen kilometres around the village of the same name. It is the monks of the Cistercian abbey of Pontigny who were the first to begin cultivating vines in the region. The vines of our Domaine (69 acres divided in 34 plots) are planted on rather gentle slopes (5 to 20%) where they benefit from different exposures. So the grapes hail from a mosaic of various terroirs, which lends lovely complexity to the wine due to the fact that the characteristics of each terroir are preserved by being vinified separately.
Wine Spectator: 90 Points
Offers richness underlined by lively acidity, setting the boundaries for lemon, yellow plum, summer meadow and flint flavors. This white is balanced and long on the finish.
James Suckling: 90 Points
Very light, clean and fresh-tasting, this is an unoaked, straightforward and lively wine. Has a bit more body than in many years at 13% plus alcohol, with crisp apples, lemon zest and hints of bananas and pineapple. From organically grown grapes. Drink now.
