Description

The Bessin-Tremblay Chablis 1er Cru Fourchaume comes from one of the most well-known vineyards in Chablis, proving yet again why this patch of dirt is so lauded.

Domaine Bessin-Tremblay's portion is relatively small, at 1.15 hectares, with vines planted between 1959 and 1971 (yes, they are very old). Around 30% old oak is used for the wine, creating a pure expression of Chablis with its oyster shell, saline and white flower characters.

The structure and persistent length adds layers of enjoyment on top of this complex and captivating wine that isn't even showing its best yet, so be patient.

From 1.15 hectares of old vines in the heart of Fourchaume and a small portion in L’Homme Mort at the northern end, this cuvée is a blend from three parcels of different aspect, age and rootstock. The core material dates from 1959 to 1971 and these vines gift a very vigorous and energetic expression of this Premier Cru.


Raised in 30% old oak, there is impeccable symmetry with none of the heaviness that can sometimes be seen from this (admittedly heterogenous) vineyard; this is Fourchaume stripped of any excess baggage. It’s limpid, stony and vivid, with a palate dressed in white flowers, a lick of oyster shell and saline highlights. This is a great Chablis.

No, feel free to mix it up! There is no minimum requirement. You can order wines in any quantity or combination, 1 or 50+ bottles.

No, all prices are set at the full discounted dozen rate already.

Most wine retailers list at a single-bottle price and then discount 10–15% when you buy six or twelve. We've taken the opposite approach. Since the overwhelming majority of our orders are already 6 bottles or more, our list price is set for the case buyer from the start. There's no inflated single-bottle price to discount down from.

What that means for you:

- One price, same for everyone — no minimum to hit to unlock the best rate
- No mixed-six gymnastics to qualify for a discount
- Our single-bottle price is typically at or below a traditional retailer's by-the-dozen rate

Put simply: the box discount is already baked into the price.

**And if you find it cheaper elsewhere?** Let us know. If the same wine is available at a lower price at another retailer (including at their mixed-six or by-the-dozen rate) we're happy to match it.

If you can't add more wine to your cart it means we are low on stock of that wine. For example, if you are only able to 3 bottles and no more that means we only have 3 bottles left of that wine. If it's a must have, please contact us and we may be able to order more in for you.
