AboutDomaine Bessin-Tremblay
Domaine Bessin-Tremblay’s family vineyards in La Chapelle-Vaupelteigne date back to 1880. Romain Bessin now directs the domaine, joined by his brother Antoine after their father’s retirement. The estate’s twelve hectares include village, premier-cru and grand-cru Chablis vineyards.
The brothers use organic and biodynamic farming methods, without biodynamic certification, and harvest by hand. Fermentation uses native yeasts, followed by long ageing on the lees.
Domaine Bessin-Tremblay 2022 Chablis Grand Cru Valmur
French White
Tightly structured yet generous, with grapefruit zest, white orchard fruit and quince layered over fennel, beeswax and crushed shell. Tangy acidity drives the full, concentrated palate, while subtle oak and chalky mineral tension bring shape. The finish is long, saline and persistent. Pair with lobster, crab, roast fish or other richly textured seafood.
Jean-Claude et Romain Bessin 2019 Chablis Premier Cru Montmains
French White
Lime and green apple lead, with ripe citrus and a fine saline note adding definition. The palate is light-bodied yet concentrated, balancing bright acidity with subtle barrel texture and a gentle tannic edge. Energetic and mineral through the long finish, it suits oysters, grilled white fish, roast chicken or fresh goat cheese.
Domaine Bessin-Tremblay 2023 Chablis Premier Cru Fourchaume
French White
Lemon peel, grapefruit and lime zest lead with yellow apple, pear and white flowers. The palate has concentrated fruit wrapped in a smooth, finely textured middle, while bright acidity keeps the wine precise. An iodised, saline character adds savoury definition. The finish is persistent and mineral, leaving citrus, subtle hazelnut, gentle spice and a cool stony edge.
