Chablis V.V., Jean-Claude Bessin - 2020

Produced from fifty-year-old vines by a great name in the appellation, its varied exposure, terroir and rootstock give it real complexity. It opens with notes of honey, lemon skin and spices. On the palate, it is striking in its depth, fullness and fleshiness, with a racy finish. A great challenger, halfway between a village and a 1er Cru!

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...
