Daniel-Etienne Defaix Chablis Vieilles Vignes 2021

Golden yellow in colour, this wine has layered aromas of ripe citrus and stone fruits. On the palate, it has a rich and creamy texture balanced by a mouthwatering acidity and the signature Chablis minerality.

Upon arrival at the winery, the Chardonnay grapes were gently pressed and then went through a cool fermentation at 18°C in stainless steel with indigenous yeasts. Following alcoholic fermentation, malolactic fermentation took place and the wine was then left for 12 months to age in tank on its fine lees. During this period, monthly bâtonnage (lees stirring) took place, which added extra texture and complexity to the wine.
