Fermented in stainless steel tanks and aged on fine lees for about 8 months, this wine offers a pure and dynamic minerality, enhanced by hints of ripe citrus. On the palate, it combines briny freshness, zesty liveliness, and a lot of integrity.

Our Review of the Cuvée

The bright, clear color foreshadows a crisp and elegant experience. The nose opens with an intense minerality: flint, lemon, and grapefruit, punctuated by a hint of delicate spices. On the palate, the attack is lively, driven by a persistent briny quality. The structure is taut, the texture fine and balanced, with a liveliness reminiscent of lime. The finish, long and pure, prolongs the impression of chalk and citrus, without any heaviness. A Chablis of great precision, ideal with shellfish or grilled fish.

In Chablis, Bernard Defaix offers wines where minerality emerges without aggression, supported by perfectly calibrated ripeness. The Chardonnay is fine and taut, with a distinct lemon aromatic profile. Aging on lees imparts volume while preserving a fresh linearity. The estate consistently expresses the region's chalky dimension, with a precise and luminous style.
