Description

The Albert Bichot Fleurie La Madone is one of those joyous red wines that simply begs you to have a second or third glass.  Beautifully perfumed on the nose with hints of floral tinged red fruits leading to a vibrant palate packed with juicy fruit underpinned by fine minerality.  For all it’s fun and sheer drinkability, this cracking red is by no means frivolous.  Enjoy it with a wide range of foods from fatty duck rillettes to herby roast chicken…just make sure that you’ve got another bottle in reserve!

Founded in 1831, Albert Bichot is an independent, family-owned House now managed by the sixth generation, Albéric Bichot. Since then, they have consistently developed a unique position in Burgundy, combining the expertise of a historic négociant with the authenticity of its own vineyard holdings. 
Produced from Gamay grown in the renowned Fleurie Cru of Beaujolais, this wine comes from vineyards planted on pink granitic soils with piedmont alluvial deposits. The La Madone climat sits on the slopes of the Fleurie hill beneath the historic Chapel of the Madonna, one of the region’s most celebrated vineyard sites. This distinctive terroir contributes finesse, aromatic complexity and elegance to the wine.
The grapes undergo fermentative maceration in temperature-controlled open vats for 9 to 12 days, allowing gentle extraction of colour, flavour and structure. This approach preserves the delicate floral aromatics and bright fruit character that have made Fleurie one of the most admired Crus of Beaujolais. No oak ageing is used. The wine is matured in stainless steel vats for 8 to 9 months, helping to retain the purity of fruit, floral complexity and freshness that define the Fleurie style.
