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 and 14 acres in Rully (Côte Chalonnaise). Since the late 1990’s, the domain has been managed by Bernard and Monique’s two sons, Sylvain and Didier Defaix.
Oh… and Les Hauts de Milly? That’s an alternate label the winery created for our importer. Which also explains the ridiculous value of this wine…
From vines averaging 30 years of age... 80% stainless steel / 20% used oak barrels. An explosive nose of white flowers, chalk, lemon and peach skin gives way to an incredible concentrated AOC Chablis. It tastes more like 1er Cru! Minerality and acidity balance the razor's edge ripe fruit.
“Domaine Bernard Defaix is a highly-rated family estate based in Milly, with the vines for this bottling averaging 30 years age. Ten months lees ageing adds to the complexity on both the nose and palate. Refined, classy and complex characters on show here, which meld beautifully with the ripe peachy fruit notes. A very fine, expressive, distinctive Chablis which is ready to drink now but will age very well for many years. Drinking Window 2021 – 2027” Decanter on 2019

“Appealing, with a good balance between generosity and ripeness of melon and peach fruit with bright acidity. Leesy notes add a little extra complexity and the finish is bright, clean and fresh.” Dec
Burghound
“A discreet if not invisible application of wood frames a bright and very fresh mix of various white-fleshed fruit aromas that offer reasonable Chablis typicity. The rich, generously proportioned flavors possess solid mid-palate density” BH
