Sourcing from all four corners of the Chablis appellation, Jean-Claude Bessin employs hand-harvesting and wild yeast fermentation of the fruit from his (and his wife's) 12 hectares of 40-50 year old vines, followed by a 15-18 month elevage. Working previously as an architect, Bessin took over his father-in-law's vineyards, steering them away from the co-op to estate bottling.
