WINE DESCRIPTION
Bernard Defaix Petit Chablis is a delightful white wine produced by the renowned Bernard Defaix winery in the Chablis appellation of Burgundy, France. This wine is made from Chardonnay grapes grown in the vineyards located on the hillsides of the Yonne river valley. The winemaking process involves traditional techniques, including fermentation in stainless steel tanks and aging on fine lees to enhance the wine's complexity and texture. The resulting wine is crisp, refreshing, and elegant, with a bright acidity and a mineral-driven character that is typical of Chablis wines. Bernard Defaix Petit Chablis is a perfect choice for those who appreciate a high-quality, terroir-driven wine that is both approachable and affordable.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Bernard Defaix Petit Chablis offers a nose of citrus and stone fruit with a hint of minerality.On the palate, the wine is light and refreshing with flavors of green apples and white flowers. Its acidity is balanced, leading to a finish with a hint of salinity. Enjoy this white Burgundy with fish, shellfish, or light cheeses.
