2022 Bernard Defaix Montee de Tonnerre Chablis 1er Cru, Burgundy

A fine pale primrose. This also has ripe fruit, but sensual rather than exotic. Yellow plums covered in a saline wash, very classic for the appellation. This is very lovely in the style of its vineyard. Excellent aftertaste. Drink from 2027-2033.

Situated on the right of the Grand Crus just after Les Clos and Blanchot, he has an excellent exposure South/South-East.

The soils are from the Upper Jurassic period (Kimmeridgean only for this plot). 
The wine is vinified on oak barrels of 1 to 5 wines with regular "batonnage". Doing so, we move the lees and enrich the wine without letting the woody aromas get the upper hand. After 12 months ageing, the wine is bottled with a light filtration. 

Round and powerful, this wine also shows flowery aromas, an great texture and a nice minerality on finish in the mouth. To serve around 13°C with poultry or fish for example.
