Product: 2012 Daniel Etienne Defaix, Chablis Premier Cru, Cote de Lechet
On a steep vineyard overlooking the Serein Valley, the Cote de Lechet is one of the most emblematic terroirs of the Defaix Estate. On these rugged slopes, the vines sink their roots deep into Jurassic limestone, revealing finesse, tension and minerality in this wine. An ideal exposure allows the grapes to achieve perfect ripeness while maintaining superb freshness. With 14 years of bottle age behind it, there is a deep richness here full of complex biscuity notes and baked orchard fruits, balanced by that steely Chablis minerality.
For more than 400 years, the Defaix family has cultivated vines in Chablis with unwavering passion. The estate carries on a unique legacy where tradition and precision come together to craft authentic, characterful wines. Every cuvee produced at the estate faithfully expresses its terroir. Hand harvesting, natural winemaking, extended ageing... nothing is left to chance. These meticulous practices bring out all the finesse and minerality that have earned Chablis wines their worldwide reputation.
