Chablis Valmur Grand Cru, Jean-Claude Bessin - 2020

A very rigorous cultivation of these plots of old vines (almost all the work is done manually) on this prestigious terroir gives this wine its originality and complexity, combining finesse, distinction and richness, without heaviness, fruit and minerality. A great wine.

Technique

Viticulture

Surface area: 2.08 hectares. Soil type: clay-limestone, Kimmeridgian. Location and exposure: Valmur is located in the heart of the Grand Cru area concentrated in the commune of Chablis. The clay-limestone, Kimmeridgian soil is a favourite for Chardonnay. Planting density 6,000 to 8,000 vines per hectare. Age of the vines: 51 years (from 34 to 60 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 and maturation take place simultaneously in barrels and small thermo-regulated vats. The malolactic fermentation is carried out at 100%. The maturation is prolonged on fine lees to refine the wines for about 6 months. Vats and barrels are blended and bottled after 18 months of ageing.

Suggestions for accompaniment

Seafood - Fish - Japanese cuisine (sushi and sashimi) - Shellfish - Cheese.

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...
