Chablis with flesh on its bones and plenty of fruit ripeness while still showing regional crunch and chalky acidity. A Tour de Force from old-school legend Daniel-Etienne Defaix.

Average age of the vines is about 70 years, which is old for the area. No oak ageing, but a delayed release after spending several years on its lees in tank.

Juicy citrus, and some darker berry and stone fruit characters. Some creaminess to go along with the oyster shell salty jolt. A brilliant Chablis at an excellent price point.
