Beaujolais Nouveau is necessarily produced from Gamay Noir with (100%) by carbonic maceration or the Beaujolais method. The hand-picked grapes are not pressed, but the whole grains are placed in the fermentation vessel and the vessel is closed. The gas (CO 2) released during fermentation envelops the upper layers and fermentation begins there too. The ultimate goal of the process is to produce a wine with a very strong fruity aroma, usually of ripe pear and banana, and a sparkling colour. This wine, although red in colour, has the freshness and fruitiness of white wines.
More about this product
Albert Bichot
The first traces of the Bichot family date from 1214, and in Burgundy they settled in 1350 - in Chateauneuf-en-Auxois. Since then, the coat of arms of the family has not changed, nor has its symbol - a doe. In 1831, Bernard Bichot founded a wine business in his name in Monthélie. His son Hippolyte inherited it and bought the first vineyards in Volney, already convinced that upstream control was essential. His son, Albert Bichot, the first to bear this name, gave a new impetus to the family business in the late 19th century, settling in central Beaune in 1912. The second Albert Bichot, born in 1900, was a pioneer in international trade - he traveled constantly to present wines - around North America, Asia, Oceania ... In the second half of the 20th century, his four sons, Albert, Bernard, Bénigne and Jean-Marc, succeeded him and a new era of expansion began with the construction of a large winery. In the early 90's, the company was joined by Alberic Bichot, taking over its management in 1996. Alberic follows the family traditions, but with a view to the future - he sets the beginning of organic cultivation of vineyards in Côte d'Or, adapts production to new markets etc. Today, the company owns a total of 6 mansions with vineyards that cover Burgundy from north to south.
