The estate, spanning 8 hectares of hillsides in Milly, benefits from stony soils that optimize sun exposure. These natural characteristics result in a wine that is both powerful and complex, with remarkable aging potential. Distinctive mineral aromas, such as flint and gunflint, make this a prestigious and long-lasting Chablis Premier Cru. An excellent choice to pair with fish in beurre blanc sauce, blanquette, and poultry in cream sauce.

Domaine Bernard Defaix
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.
