About the Producer Bessin-Tremblay

Established in 1880, the Burgundy family estate is now run by Romain Bessin, who took over from his father Jean-Claude. The estate includes twelve hectares of vines spread over a number of renowned appellations: Chablis, Chablis Premier Cru and Chablis Grand Cru. Convinced of the beneficial effects of biodynamic viticulture on his land and wine, and concerned about environmental issues, Romain is gradually converting the estate to biodynamic viticulture. All chemical fertilisers and weedkillers have been banished to make way for more careful, precise and natural tillage. This preserves the personality of each parcel and brilliantly conveys it in each cuvée. In the winery, the winemaker applies the same low-intervention approach, while retaining the unique expertise he inherited from his father. Fermentation using indigenous yeasts, combined with long ageing on lees, results in cuvées that perfectly reflect the individual character of each grape variety and terroir.
