Chablis La Forêt 1er Cru, Jean-Claude Bessin - 2020

The wines are very clear and fresh, with citrus and white flower aromas. This terroir gives the wine the characteristic typicity of Chablis wines with a mineral, iodine and chalky finish. The ripeness of the grapes and the maturing process give us the substance. The terroir and the vinification give us purity and elegance.

Domain

Jean-Claude and Romain Bessin are discreet winegrowers, leading old vines on mythical plots of land in Chablis, in biodynamic conversion. They produce wines of a rare purity and make their terroirs sing to the sound of the Kimmeridgian, with Fourchaume and Valmur as their highlights! Here the vinification is totally at the service of the grapes: never any woody notes in these wines which age to perfection, with a vibrant tension which carries them very far in the finish.
