The Besson Estate is located in the enchanting region of Mâconnais, in Burgundy, France. This region, though less famous than the Côte d'Or, has long been hailed for its production of exceptional Chardonnay-based white wines. The Besson Estate is a perfect execution of what this region has to offer. Nestled in the idyllic village of Vergisson, the Besson Estate spans 8 hectares of fertile lands. The vineyard is a mix of alternating branches of young and old vines, some dating back to over a hundred years. Between the lush landscape and the aged but well-maintained architecture of the estate's cellars and buildings, it does not take long to understand why this region is so important for French wine. Although the estate may be best known for its Pouilly-Fuissé, it also produces an exceptional Macon-Vergisson, both of which are balanced and distinct expressions of the Mâconnais terroir. The wines are made traditionally, with fermentations in foudre and barrel according to the vintage and cuvée. This makes their wines rich and complex, with a precise balance between acidity and the creamy texture typical of Chardonnay wines. But what perhaps most distinguishes the Besson Estate is its commitment to sustainability. All procedures, from the vineyard to the cellar, are managed with the greatest care for the environment. The vines are worked organically, without the use of chemicals. This respect for the earth translates not only into better farming practices, but also into a purer and more authentic wine. At the Besson Estate, there is a sense of history and tradition, as well as the audacity to innovate and evolve.
