[SOLD-OUT] Bernard Defaix Cote de Lechet Premier Cru Chablis 2020

 

“Another attractive pale primrose. A little fuller than the Vaillons on the nose, with excellent structure on the palate, a light smokiness, then an engaging volume of fruit. A riper style of Chablis, but with length and some class.” - Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy

 

“With slopes up to 38 degrees, exposure to the sun is a feature here, along with the pebbly soils. A tank sample, this has richness and warmth to it, with some oak character and leesy notes from extended ageing. Good freshness to finish.” - Decanter

 

"Much like the rest of Burgundy, Chablis’ finest vineyards have (for better or worse) become synonymous with a symbolic grower. This is the case with the Côte de Léchet and Domaine Bernard Defaix. The Domaine is the largest holder within this 1er Cru and its cellars sit at the base of the Léchet hill. Didier Defaix is therefore the vineyard’s emblematic vigneron (and the site’s only certified organic grower)." - Bibendum
