WINE DESCRIPTION

This Chablis Premier Cru from Daniel-Etienne Defaix is a stunning white wine. It is made from 100% Chardonnay grapes sourced from the Côte de Lechet vineyard in the north of Burgundy. The wine is aged in oak barrels, which gives it a lovely toasted, nutty note. On the nose, it has intense aromas of apple, pear, and citrus, with subtle notes of toast and roasted nuts. The palate is full and round, with a rich texture and a long finish. The acidity is balanced, with a hint of minerality, and the finish is wonderfully persistent. This Chablis Premier Cru is an excellent example of the region's finest terroir, and a perfect accompaniment to seafood, poultry, and creamy cheese dishes.
