Defaix’s Chablis villages is drawn from four parcels of mature, 30-plus-year-old vines situated around Milly and Poinchy, on the left bank of the Serein River. The wine was fermented wild and aged on fine lees for ten months in glass-lined tanks.
It’s a floral and detailed wine for the level, and the interplay of texture, complexity and palate-cleansing freshness suggests a great wine at the table. There are beautiful lemon sherbet, nectarine and floral notes on the nose and terrific vibrancy in the mouth, with juicy fruit, ripe acidity and a generous lick of oyster shell to close. Lovely wine!
Domaine Bernard Defaix is a highly-rated family estate based in Milly, with the vines for this bottling averaging 30 years age. Ten months lees ageing adds to the complexity on both the nose and palate. Refined, classy and complex characters on show here, which meld beautifully with the ripe peachy fruit notes. A very fine, expressive, distinctive Chablis which is ready to drink now but will age very well for many years.
