Tasting Note

Pale gold in colour, the nose is precise and restrained, showing lemon peel, green apple and white blossom layered with wet stone, sea spray and a delicate herbal edge. Beneath its cool, mineral profile lies impressive depth and quiet intensity. The palate is taut and chiselled, driven by crisp acidity, citrus and orchard fruit, while lees ageing adds subtle texture without softening its linear, saline core. Long, stony and finely persistent, this is a classical, terroir-driven Chablis with striking purity, youthful tension and the structure to evolve beautifully over the next decade.

Product Notes

The Domaine Daniel-Etienne Defaix Chablis Vieilles Vignes wine is a stunning representation of old vine winemaking artistry. This mature Burgundy Chardonnay is a conflux of strong character and equilibrium, imbued with an impressive minerality, delicacy, and a vibrancy exuding the very essence of its Chablis terroir. The luscious fruit forward taste is skilfully balanced against crisp acidity. Its bouquet boasts a subtle blend of honey, almond and citrus hints. Bolted by subtle oak notes, this wine is ideal for pairing with Seafood or poultry. It's a rich, layered and an elegantly refined Chablis, proudly made by Defaix family.
