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.

The wine's radiant appearance is a stunning golden, evoking the warmth of a sunny day. The nose is a vibrant tapestry of juicy pineapple, sweet mango, and the gentle sweetness of honey, with a nuance of citrusy freshness. The palate is a masterful equilibrium of flavors, with each note harmoniously intertwined. The follow through is a silky, rich conclusion, leaving a pleasant aftertaste.

The Chablis exhibits restrained fruit character, with a notable feel of wet stone notes. The high acidity is also evident, ranging from green apple to white peach, lemon, lime, and fennel. A nuance of yeast and buttery notes adds depth, at the same time a touch of honey and hay provides a nuanced sweetness. The ripeness of the fruits, with a higher concentration, suggests that the grapes are of a higher quality. The generally experience is one of balanced elegance, with a slight creaminess and fattiness polished by clean acidity. The ending is relatively short, but the wine's integration and equilibrium make it a compelling favorite for those aiming for a sophisticated Chablis.

Well-crafted wine, but not my personal taste. Its aging and oak maturation gave it an unusual Chablis character, nostalgic of a traditional Burgundy in style.
