For the last 110 years, the great Maison Albert Bichot has been working in collaboration with this tiny estate to produce first class Burgundy. From a difficult but very good vintage, this is a most appealing wine with subtle oak complexity.

The Wine
Albert Bichot has won much praise for its fine Burgundies, so this really is a smart buy. In 2013 the house was 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 property dating from 1298. It was built as a military fortress by the Duke of Burgundy, then the winery and cellar were constructed in 1728. For this wine rigorously selected Chardonnay grapes, from various plots, were part fermented and aged in oak. This is a most appealing white with fabulous freshness, richness and balance. Great with roast chicken, fish and soft cheeses.
"The best Chardonnay in my cellar. Not oaky, but full of slightly fruity flavour. 5-Stars"
