Domaine du Bicheron - (France)

Domaine du Bicheron logo

Here in southern Burgundy, the grapes enjoy more sun and Mediterranean influences, making the wines appear riper and rounder. The domain was founded in 1889, so that the 5th generation has now taken over the torch. Domaine du Bicheron can therefore build on a long tradition and experience in which the newer generations also introduced the latest techniques and installations. Like any right-minded modern company, great respect for the environment and climate is central here too. They have been working according to the Lutte Raisonnée for a long time, but since 2018 they now also have a real Bio label, HVE (Haute Valeur Environnementale). Moreover, a region like Burgundy naturally has its price (and today it has evolved out of all proportion). In that sense, you will find beautiful and honest wines here that form an affordable and tasty alternative to the top wines of the Côte d'Or, which are only available to a select audience these days.

Transparent cherry red color. The nose is refined and reveals itself with delicate aromas of cherries, red berries and a tip of pepper. Rather simple but very tasteful style that is mainly made on its fruit. Lush and refreshing mouthfeel. Wonderfully balanced and elegant final.
Bourgogne France

Bright light yellow color. Bouquet of soft yellow fruit such as peach, pineapple with a touch of candied lemon accompanied by hints of brioche and a tip of flint. Creamy and soft but at the same time wonderfully mineral and refreshing. Nicely balanced whole. Long dry but filming finale with a nice touch of mint.
