The Bichot Family settled in Burgundy around 1350. By 1831 the Bichot's had entered the wine industry by creating a wine trading business in Monthelie. The family continued to follow in the wine world and by the birth of the second Albert Bichot, they had taken up a permanent settlement within Beaune. The family operates six different estates that run from Chablis to Beaujolais, including Domaine Long-Depaquit, Domaine du Clos-Frantin, Chateau Gray, Pavilion Domaine, Domaine Adelie, and Domaine de Rochegres.
