Screwcap. Much like the rest of Burgundy, Chablis’ finest vineyards have (for better or for worse) become synonymous with a symbolic grower. The Defaix cellars sit just below the vines of the bony Léchet hill, in the tiny hamlet of Milly, and Domaine Bernard Defaix is the largest holder of the 1er Cru vineyard Côte de Léchet and ergo its emblematic vigneron (and the site’s only certified organic grower).

“Pale lemon colour. Bring on the white stones. A little touch of seaweed, this has tightened up in bottle says Didier. I really like this. Brilliantly racy, ripe enough fruit of course but the terroirs is shining through giving the dry saline finish after white fruit.”
92 points, Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy
“A ripe and ever-so-mildly exotic nose is comprised by notes of citrus, ginger, mineral reduction and yellow orchard fruit that are set off by a subtle application of oak. The round, generous and intense flavors display good minerality and drive while delivering fine length on the powerful, mouth coating and serious finale.”

"Bernard Defaix has well and truly made its mark as one of the top producers in Chablis and it’s also one of the few certified organic growers in the region. The wines show great purity of fruit and faithfully represent their terroirs, including Côte de Lechet, where they are the largest landholder. Beautifully bright and generous pear, citrus and floral fruit aromas lead to an elegant, concentrated palate with chalky acidity supporting a long, subtle finish. Delicious now but will hold over the medium term"
