Description

The Bessin-Tremblay Chablis Vieilles Vignes stands as a shining star among the domaine's esteemed collection—a beloved favorite for good reason.

Derived from the domaine's oldest vines, meticulously planted between 1950 and 1974, this wine holds the esteemed title of the Domaine's flagship, consistently garnering accolades from both critics and connoisseurs alike. Crafted with precision, the use of stainless steel and neutral oak in fermentation and maturation underscores its commitment to accentuating the pure essence of fruit, minerality, and saline notes.

Delightfully perfumed aromas of stone fruit and citrus gracefully introduce the wine, paving the way for a palate that is both vibrant and textured, with a refreshing acidity that propels it to an immensely satisfying conclusion.

Derived from a meticulously curated three-hectare plot nestled on the steep slopes opposite Fourchaume, Bessin's pièce de résistance cuvée emerges from the fusion of six distinct parcels, all nurtured from the Domaine's most ancient vines in La Chapelle-Vaupelteigne. Rooted in history, the majority of these vines were tenderly planted between 1950 and 1974, spanning both Kimmeridgian marl and Portlandian soils, each with its unique exposure to the elements.

The journey from vine to bottle is one of meticulous craftsmanship—beginning with whole-bunch pressing and culminating in a patient 18-month maturation period in a temperature-controlled tank, kissed with a delicate touch of neutral oak. The result is nothing short of extraordinary—an elixir that captivates with its intensity, mineral essence, and delicate saline whispers. Its essence is a testament to the enduring legacy of old vines, boasting a compact, rocky structure that elegantly balances the classic concentration, culminating in a lingering finish adorned with a whisper of skin tannin. It's not just wine; it's pure magic in a bottle.
