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

The warm exposure of Fourchaume gives very ripe grapes and wines that are a little rounder than the "classic" Chablis. The acidic balance comes from deep rooting thanks to the work of the soil. This terroir brings floral and iodine notes, generosity in the mouth, but with a lot of elegance. Vibrant, sexy.

Viticulture

Surface area: 1.30 hectares. Soil type: Kimmeridgian limestone marl. Location and exposure: located on a hillside in the commune of La Chapelle-Vaupelteigne, the Fourchaume 1er cru benefits from a west-southwest exposure. Several plots are used to make this wine. Planting density: 6,000 vines per hectare. Age of the vines: from 34 to 39 years. Integrated viticulture: mechanical working of the soil, reduction of inputs with the "Changins" method, biodynamic trials.

Oenology

Manual harvesting. Pneumatic pressing of whole grapes. Slow pressing at low pressure. Vinification: vinification and maturation take place in vats. Maturing on fine lees refines the wines for 18 months.

Jean-Claude Bessin

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. In style, this is the closest thing to Vincent Dauvissat...
