Chardonnay from Chablis, Burgundy
Excellent élévage calm, saline, beautiful core of delicate yet flavourful fruit white stone fruit a little citrus oil, a savoury twist all wrapped in a fine flowing texture with just the right amount of phenolic grip.Another example of a Petit Chablis pushing above its standing, a trend we’re seeing with the better producers.Certified organic.

Chardonnay from Chablis, Burgundy
This is very good. Defaix has given us a restrained, detailed expression of Chablis. Mineral with juicy fruit, citrus, and most importantly loads of personality.
