Description

The Bessin-Tremblay Chablis Grand Cru Valmur absolutely shines, demonstrating the brilliant quality of the terroir and the considered skills of the winemakers.

Vines for the Valmur range in age from relative babies (planted in 2000) to old but sprightly (planted in 1947), which helps to aid the complexity of the wine. Stainless steel and neutral oak help to elevate the fruit, showing peach, citrus and blossom with some pleasant creaminess and minerality.

For a grand cru Chablis, this is an incredibly low price, providing immense value for money and a drinking experience that will be rewarded by some patience.

The Domaine holds a priceless two hectares in Valmur, which makes it (I’m guessing) one of the largest holders of this Grand Cru, sited between Grenouilles and Le Clos. With the 1934 plantings in La Pièce au Comte now pulled up, Valmur houses the Domaine’s oldest vines, planted in 1947, and include some ‘younger’ material planted between 1962-1974 and 1995-2000. Just as important is the exposure: Bessin’s parcel lies on the southern side of Valmur, where the vines face northwest, bringing the wine excellent structure and freshness. With the power this terroir can generate, the wine is raised mostly in stainless steel, with between 20% and 40% in barrel depending on the vintage.


Aside from the obvious quality—it’s a stunningly radiant, long and pure Valmur reverberating with mineral energy—we should also point out the tariff: Grand Cru white Burgundy from a great grower at this price? Get it while you can.

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.
