They settled in Burgundy in 1350, in their fief of Ch\u00e2teauneuf-en-Auxois.\u00a0The family\u2019s coat of arms has not changed since nor has its symbol, a doe (doe).\r\nIn 1831, Bernard Bichot founded a wine trading business in his name in Month\u00e9lie.\u00a0His son, Hippolyte, succeeded him and bought the first vines in Volnay, already convinced that upstream control was essential.\u00a0His son, Albert Bichot, the first to bear the name, gave the family business new momentum in the late 19th century and settled in the center of Beaune once and for all in 1912.\r\nThe second Albert Bichot, who was born in 1900, was a pioneer of international commerce.\u00a0North America, Asia, Oceania\u2026 He traveled incessantly in order to introduce our wines, which were already recognized as being among the best, to wine lovers around the world.\r\nIn the second half of the 20th century, his four sons, Albert, Bernard, B\u00e9nigne and Jean-Marc, inherited this know-how.\u00a0A new era of expansion began with the construction of a large aging cellar, a new bottling center and winery.\u00a0Our wines were available in all of the world\u2019s continents.\r\n\r\nALBERIC Bichot, The New GENERATION\r\nAfter having gone off to discover the world, (from the Arctic to Ad\u00e9lie Land), Alb\u00e9ric Bichot joined the company in the early 90s and took over its management in 1996. Though he fully respects family traditions, he is completely focused on the future.\u00a0He compares himself to the \u201cconductor of an orchestra, proud to bring people and their talents together over a common project\u201d.\r\nThe challenges are numerous: converting to organic viticulture in the C\u00f4te-d\u2019Or vineyards, on-going adaptation to new markets, increasing the prestige and exposure of Burgundy wines and much more.\r\nConvinced that the quality of wine depends on the quality of the grapes, he has on developing the upstream control that was focused in the 1980s.\u00a0He secured supplies, and began to expand our vinification capacity and the aging cellars in 2010.\r\nThe company\u2019s vineyards now total 6 estates that cover Burgundy from north to south. |
