A fine brilliant yellow colour. On the aromas, mineral notes are dominant combined with delicate touches of green apple and citrus fruit (lemon and grapefruit). The mouth is fresh and persistent.

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.

Bright notes of fresh citrus, white flowers and mineral nuances mingle on the nose. The elegant palate is driven by vibrant acidity and expressive flavours of citrus and stone fruit. Brilliant pale straw colour with a watery hue. Aromas of lime and pear infused with a mix of oyster shell and wet slate like notes emanate from the glass followed by some delicate fresh herb and mineral notes. Zippy lime and green apple fruits are underscored by flinty acidity with some oyster shell and slatey mineral characters lingering through the back half. Finishes dry with a river stone like mouth feel and a refreshingly long mineral laced aftertaste. Drink over the next 3-4 years.

The vines are located on the clay-limestone 'Kimmeridgian' soil, which has both excellent acidity and remarkable finesse. Thanks to long ageing on fine lees, the Chanoines offers the typical minerality.
