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

Domaine Daniel-Etienne Defaix Chablis Vieilles Vignes commands recognition for its remarkable character derived from old vines. The wine boasts a rich, full flavour profile with crisp, distinct Chablis notes of green apple, lemon, and mineral. Matured using traditional vinification methods, it displays an intricate balance between fruit and acidity. The elegant expression of terroir is further exemplified in its hints of sea spray and white flowers. This Chablis is the epitome of grand old-world winemaking, matured to perfection, offering a structured yet refreshing palate with a beautifully persistent finish. Exceptional to enjoy now or worthy to age for some years.
