This ageworthy wine is full of fruit as well as tense and textured. Coming from this ripe vintage, it offers yellow fruits, ripe acidity, hints of the wood aging and a ripe, rich texture. The minerality is cushioned by opulent fruit that is so enveloping. Drink this fine wine from 2021.

About the Producer
Domaine Besson's history dates back to 1902 and spans four generations. In 1902, Eugne Besson planted 7.58 hectares off vines in Chablis. Today his grandson, Alain, owns the Domaine. Alain's daughter Camille received her diploma of oenology in 2013 and leads their winemaking efforts. Like most Burgundy growers, Alain holds a hearty respect for the land. He uses a minimum of sprays and fertilizers and takes a non-interventionist approach to farming. He secured some fantastic parcels over the years, expanding to 52 acres of Chablis, Petit Chablis, Chablis Premier Cru and Chablis Grand Cru. They produce two Grand Crus, one from Vaudesir and the other from a tiny plot of vines smack dab in the middle of the legendary Le Clos vineyard.
