Jean-Claude Bessin
Jean-Claude Bessin's wines seem to take on his personality: his range of
Chablis, 1er Crus Montmains and Fourchaume, and Grand Cru
Valmur are among the most measured in the land.
Based in La Chapelle Vaupelteigne, north of Chablis town, Jean-Claude's first vintage was the 1992. While he has not thrown himself upon the organic altar, his objective to achieve a `natural balance' in the vineyard has led to a 30% reduction in treatments, relying more upon natural predators such as the red spider mite.
These are classically structured Chablis, of great depth.

A classical Chablis from Jean-Claude Bessin, with a refreshing infusion of the marine notes which come from the kimmeridgian clay-limestone soil. There is plenty of weight though. (Jasper Morris MW, BBR Buyer) Drink 2009-2011 . | ||||

Moderate but not intrusive wood frames a floral and green fruit nose that complements the detailed and very fresh flavors that offer excellent minerality and plenty of vibrancy on the beautifully detailed finish. Interestingly though, it's not as dense or powerful as the Montmains but just as ... MORE | ||||

Like many of his colleagues, Jean-Claude Bessin noted that 2007 is a "vintage where the aromas come out so strongly that it's really perfumed". In Chablis Fourchaume, Piece au Comte the wood is much more subtle and consequently the nose has more overall aromatic depth as well as there is a lovely ... MORE | ||||

The jewel in Jean-Claude Bessin’s crown, Valmur has a beautiful bouquet and exudes class, a peachy middle palate and a marvellous finish. The classical austerity of Chablis is balanced by the weight of the vintage, making this a very harmonious wine. Drink 2011-2015 . | ||||

A delicious pale primrose colour sets the tone for this remarkably classy Chablis wine. The bouquet is redolent of sunshine and seashells in equal measure, with beautiful weight and density on the palate and little touches of citrus. (Jasper Morris MW, BBR Buyer) Drink 2010-2016 . | ||||
