Description

Domaine Besson is a small family domaine with just over 8 hectares of vineyard in the municipality of Givry in the Côte Chalonnaise. This area south of Meursault is the 'secret tip' for lovers of good and affordable red and white Burgundy. Owner Xavier Besson mainly makes white wine such as this cuvée from the Clos de la Brûlée vineyard, only 04 hectares in size. Besson works according to the guidelines of reasoned agriculture, picks manually and selects the grapes on a so-called 'table de tri'. Everything is focused on quality. The vinification is classical with maturation in partly new oak barrels, with the bâtonnage being stirred in the barrel once or twice a month. This 'old' technique makes the wine significantly rounder in taste.
