Please bear in mind that our prices on our store are maximum prices, corresponding to a maximum hammer price we've set for each of them. In case the hammer goes above this limit, we won't buy. If the hammer is under the limit, then we will of course bring down the final price as well.

IMPORTANT : shipping costs for some countries (USA, Hong Kong for instance) are only ESTIMATES in our online store. The final price will be calculated after the auction and will of course depend on your final order and exact shipping address.

New in 2015: MyPrimeurs Albert Bichot : buy 4 wines from our own estate in primeur, between 25 and 75 € per bottle.

Founded in 1831, Albert Bichot is still today a family House, the proud owner of more than 100 ha (260 acres) of vineyards in the best terroirs, from Chablis to Beaujolais through the heart of Côte de Nuits and Côte de Beaune. In Burgundy more than anywhere else, each estate is a mozaic of terroirs, of plots that reveal their own characteristics (weather, altitude and soil) to the wines born on those places.
Albert Bichot has the rare privilege to own across the Burgundy vineyard some perfectly located plots (parcelles) that are so tiny that their wines could not, until now, be sold as such, with their own plot names (the famous « climats » from Burgundy, now listed as a UNESCO world heritage site).
Those 4 exceptional wines are all vinified and aged on their own in Albert Bichot’s cellars and are now available exclusively en primeur on the internet. A full presentation is available on this link
• Red wines: 
Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Les Rouges du Dessus
Savigny-Les-Beaune Les Picotins
• White wines: 
Meursault Clos de Magny
Saint Aubin 1er Cru
You can order them now from our online store. We ask for a 70% deposit today. The remaining 30% will have to be paid in January 2017. Like for the Hospices wines, prices on our online store include French VAT which you won't have to pay if wines are shipped outside Europe.
