The Clasen family, Bernard-Massard

(video in French)

“The scent of grapes wafts through the air, and rows of big, closely-stacked oak barrels form a maze of pathways. Twists and turns that invite you to get lost as you wander, like father and son Hubert and Antoine Clasen, who manage the Bernard-Massard cellars. This family story reaches back over five generations. But then, creating wines is a matter of time. It is only over time that a wine proves itself and earns its pedigree. The vine has its years of plenty and its less bountiful times. The weather also plays its role... For anyone who loves to talk about wine, time is always part of the conversation.”
