Domaine Bernard Defaix Petit Chablis 2025 Size::1 Bottle the Estate Old Block planted

the Estate Old Block planted in 1978 and Block 12 from the North vineyard planted in 1995

really easy-going with a touch of gentle skin-tannin grip and very nicely controlled phenolics carried along in limestone's gentle strictness

This wine has strong aging potential

The aromas are surprisingly dominated by red rather than black fruits and hints of spice

The majority of this blend comes from the 2013 vintage with roughly 15% reserve wines sourced from the 2011 and 2012 vintages

Unusually for a Petit Chablis, the lions share of this cuve is drawn from a parcel of Kimmeridgian based soil. Well situated on the slopes above Milly and Vaillons, it is a cool site that comes into its own in warmer vintages. Defaix has recently added two small parcels in Poinchy and Beines, which bring depth and complexity.
