Based in La Chapelle Vaupelteigne, north of Chablis town, Jean-Claude's first vintage was the 1992. Though trained as an architect Jean-Claude Bessin preferred to take over the vineyards of his Tremblay father-in-law who adhered to the co-operative.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom his 12 hectares he produces a Chablis Vieilles Vignes, Chablis Montmains Premier Cru, Chablis Fourchaume Premier Cru and Chablis Valmur Grand Cru which is partially barrel-fermented. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvolution in recent years has been towards more natural winemaking. The majority of the crop is now harvested by hand, with natural yeasts preferred for fermentation. The wines have a long élévage on fine lees, the crus being bottled after 15 to 18 months, with a proportion of barrel fermentation and maturation for the top wines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","products":[],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0106\/1539\/0266\/collections\/CollectionImage_9d45ab5e-4c12-4af7-a720-16f6a34fa9fb.jpg?v=1542552679","url":"https:\/\/hic.wine\/collections\/domaine-jean-claude-bessin-chablis-white-wines.oembed","provider":"Hic!","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
