Production: Low yielding vines grow on north facing kimmeridgian and chalky clay soils surrounding the village of Beine. From here Bernard selects parcels from vines approaching a minimum age of 50 years for his Chablis Vieilles Vignes. Grapes are hand-harvested. After a short cold maceration and gentle pneumatic pressing, the wine is racked and fermented in stainless steel for 15 days at 21ºC. Around 15% is fermented in large (600l) oak barrels for 15 days and remains in oak for 8-12 months – the rest in stainless steel. The malolactic fermentation last up to 5 weeks.
