Bernard and Monique Defaix started their domain in 1959, with a little more than 4 acres. Through hard work and steady investment, their estate now covers nearly 70 acres in Chablis! They are the largest owners in the 1er Cru lieu-dit Cote de Lechet. Two primary features characterize this wine. First, the cru is one of the steepest and stoniest in Chablis. As a result, the wine has a particularly high mineral content. Additionally, the vines here are some of the domain's oldest, with a portion representing Bernard's original plantings from 1955! Sixty-year old vines, from a steep, stony soil... I'll boil it down for you. The result is a very powerful, mineral-driven Chablis with some of the longest aging potential in all of Chablis! 

On the nose, along with the telltale minerality are aromas of peach, apricot and wild flowers. On the palate, sophisticated fruit flavors mix with limestone aspects and slight hints of vanilla. The very complex finish suggests whispers of smoke and lime zest. It is aged in 80% stainless steel and 20% barrel. No new oak was used. So you get just a bit of roundness from the oak to balance the wine's power and intensity. A wonderful display of craftsmanship!

"From the coolest of the premier crus, this wine is as much about texture as fruit. Young and taut with touches of spice and a steely edge, the wine is just setting out." WE

"citrusy aromas of iodine, acacia and white peach. The luscious, round and seductively textured medium-bodied flavors possess both excellent volume and a bracing salinity on the clean bitter lemon-inflected finale." BH
