2022 Domaine Bessin-Tremblay Chablis Premier Cru La Fourchaume

From: Chablis, France Varietal: Chardonnay About & Taste: While the Vieilles Vignes ("old vines") comes from some pretty long-lived plants, the Bessin-Tremblay Chablis 1er Cru Fourchaume La Piece au Comte boasted constituents that were planted in 1934 – and their DNA lives on in the present vines.Vinified separately because of their certain 'je ne sais quoi' attained from this corner of the vineyard, La Piece au Comte's special qualities are actually attributable to a vine disease which helps to stunt growth but intensify sugars and acidity. Lemon curd and cream mix with flinty minerality and searing acidity to create an energetic and supremely enjoyable Chardonnay. The Domaine. Domaine Bessin-Tremblay has been around since 1989, owned by Jean-Claude and Eveylne Bessin, although the family has been in the wine business since the 1800s. The estate is in La Chapelle Vaupelteigne, just north of the town of Chablis, with total vineyard area of around 12 hectares across Chablis AOC, Pre
