The Albert Bichot Secret de Famille Bourgogne Cote d'Or Chardonnay 2023 is a testament to the rich winemaking heritage of Maison Bichot, established in 1831. This youthful and fresh Chardonnay showcases a fragrant and lively aromatic profile, with notes of citrus, apple, and pear, complemented by hints of white flowers and touches of honey. The palate is round and mineral, with refreshing acidity and a long, persistent finish that evokes dried fruit.

Composition: 100% Chardonnay. Vine age varies, planted on rich clay-limestone soils.
Winemaking: Fermentation occurs partly in barrels and partly in vats to enhance complexity and balance.
Aging: The wine rests on lees in a mix of steel tanks and oak barrels for 10-12 months, enhancing its texture and depth.
