Cellar for 10 years or more. No need to decant before serving. This old vine Chablis is as iconic as the rolling green hills where it was produced. It’s bursting with sumptuous notes of lemon, lime, brioche, and honeysuckle, with accents of dried herbs and medicinal tea. For its price, this is a wine of extraordinary depth and quality, perfect for those seeking a new underground favourite. Domaine Daniel-Etienne Defaix is located on Kimmeridgian soil, in one of the oldest parts of Chablis. Despite being founded almost 4 centuries ago, the winery is still a family-run business. The domain spans just 28 hectares, but those are planted exclusively with Chardonnay - a statement of intent, and the ultimate sign of commitment to crafting refined wines from this famous Burgundy grape. This is a rich expression of Chablis, with a medium-plus body and a juicy texture that can be rolled around the mouth. The palate is marked with notes of buttered bread, citrus rind, orchard fruits, herbal honey, and a sharp, stony minerality. The Chardonnay grapes were fermented and matured on the lees for 12 months, with regular stirring, imparting a round texture. Perfect for pairing with classic French dishes such as escargot, andouillette, or creamy pasta.
