Delightful citrus hints of lemon and orange peel extend a warm welcome to the olfactory senses, accompanied by subtle undertones of honeysuckle. The palate is graced with flavours reminiscent of pear, white peach, and zesty lemon curd, harmoniously complemented by nuanced notes of vanilla. The well-balanced acidity of this offering harmonizes beautifully with various culinary pairings, and the conclusion is marked by a vibrant brightness that lingers.

On the nose this wine reveals nectarine and ripe pear aromas. The palate is endowed with integrated oak structure, hints of vanilla cream, lemon zest, and baked apples. Building momentum across the mid-palate, this wine has lingering flavours of spice and crème brûlée. The finish has refreshing and persistent acidity that is well-balanced.

Notes of ripe yellow apple play enticingly on the nose. They expand to full force on the palate and fill the mouth with their mellow goodness, supported in this by rich notes of shortbread and wonderful lemon freshness. The bubbles are creamy and disperse the lovely flavors to great effect. This is classy and delicious.

92 Points, Decanter (2020 vintage)

Domaine Bernard Defaix is a highly-rated family estate based in Milly, with the vines for this bottling averaging 30 years age. Ten months lees ageing adds to the complexity on both the nose and palate. Refined, classy and complex characters on show here, which meld beautifully with the ripe peachy fruit notes. A very fine, expressive, distinctive Chablis which is ready to drink now but will age very well for many years.

Chardonnay

 

Classic Jura notes of funky sherry-like nuttiness, flor, ripe pears, baked apples with a briny minerality and zippy acidity. Keep in mind: not your typical French Chardonnay; open several hours before serving; can stay open for well over a week; can out live you and your children in the cellar. They’re still selling bottles from the 1800’s!

GRAPE

Chardonnay

 

Notes of brioche, almond, peach and vivid citrus that culminate in white florals. There’s a really busy palate: multidimensional, lots of material, but at the same time driving through is a precise, linear wine with a tight focus. Bright acidity contributes to this, as does the detailed and saline finish.
