“A roundness and comfort to this yellow citrus nose. Scale and energy – there’s a chalky style to this wine too. A little mineral – impressive for the vintage – I love this finish, faintly strict at the end – and long for the label. I love it!” Bill Nanson, Burgundy Report
Screwcap. Unusually for a Petit Chablis, the lion’s share of this cuvée 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.

Wines of Chablis
Arguably the most uniquely tasting Chardonnay in the world, most people are blown away to discover this special type of Chardonnay for the first time. The cool climate region produces wines with more acidity and less fruit flavours, but a unique flinty note derived from the soils.
Although considered a part of the Burgundy wine region, Chablis is closer in distance to Champagne which it shares an exceedingly rare and unique soil with. Kimmeridgian soil is not found anywhere else in the world except in southern England, Champagne and Chablis. A 180-million-year-old geologic formation of decomposed clay and limestone, containing tiny fossilized oyster shells, this soil type produces wines full of minerality, salinity, intensity, and finesse.
In Chablis they use a similar ranking system to that of Burgundy. From Grand Crus at the top, to Premier Crus, to Chablis and Petit Chablis at the bottom.
