Bernard Defaix, fourth generation of a family of vine-growers, started in 1959 with 2 hectares. At about this time, the first techniques for protecting vineyards from spring frosts were discovered.Through much perseverance and hard work, Bernard and his wife Monique were able to acquire and plant new land over the years. Their efforts duly enriched the domain, which now included some of the best named places of the Chablis region.
