The noble house of Albert Bichot has won much praise for its fine Burgundies – in 2013 they were awarded ‘White Wine Producer of the Year’ at the prestigious IWC, while Wine Advocate wrote: “They are making extremely fine wines.” And, rarely for Burgundy, the wines also offer great value. Over a century ago, Bichot started working with Château de Dracy, a Côte de Beaune property with history going back to 1298. It was originally built as a military fortress by the Duke of Burgundy, while the still functioning winery and cellar were constructed in 1728. Rigorously selected Pinot Noir from various plots, carefully fermented, with a portion oak aged, this is a most appealing, silky red. Great with sauced white meats or a wild mushroom dish.
