Well-rounded and crisp blend of minerals, concentrated butter, and a undertone of wet stone, graceful by a refreshing citrus and apple note. A superb value for the price, making it a solid elite for everyday consumption.

Voss Experts4.0

Daniel-Etienne Defaix Chablis Vieilles Vignes is a captivating white wine that showcases the essence of Chablis, France. With a vibrant golden hue, it entices with aromas of green apple, citrus zest, and a hint of flint. On the palate, it offers a crisp acidity and a beautiful minerality, complemented by flavors of ripe pear, lemon, and a subtle touch of salinity. This wine pairs excellently with seafood dishes such as oysters, grilled fish, and creamy shellfish pastas.
