About the Wine

Wine critic James Suckling said Chablis “Delivers such purity, refreshment and are just always so enjoyable,” we agree.

Thanks to its unique terroir, Chablis is the perfect pairing for oysters and fresh seafood and summertime. You can’t have summer and not include this wine!

Chablis is loved by wine geeks and everyday drinkers alike for its characteristic minerality and finesse. If you haven't had the pleasure of falling in love with Chablis yet, what are you waiting for?

Defaix Frères, a family-run domaine established in 1955, is located in this esteemed region. Initially focusing on Chablis, the estate has since expanded to include key sites in Rully. Managed by Hélène Jaeger-Defaix and her husband Didier, the estate represents the fourth generation of the Defaix family in viticulture. Known for their commitment to organic and sustainable practices, Defaix Frères achieved full organic certification in 2019. The winemaking approach is characterized by minimal intervention, using natural yeasts and traditional methods to emphasize the authenticity of their wines.

Tasting Notes

100% Chardonnay. The aroma bursts with fresh mineral notes, accompanied by enticing hints of lemon and grapefruit. This vibrant profile makes the wine incredibly refreshing and lively. Ideal to enjoy within the next 2 years, it pairs beautifully with seafood or fish, enhancing the delicate flavors of these dishes. Perfect for a light, elegant dining experience.
