Domaine Bernard Defaix has a rich history dating back to the 18th century, with generations of winemaking expertise passed down through the family. Their commitment to quality and tradition is evident in every bottle they produce, and the Chablis 1er Cru Montée de Tonnerre 2021 is a testament to their unwavering pursuit of excellence. This Chablis displays a captivating bouquet of citrus fruits, green apples, and white flowers, accompanied by subtle mineral notes. The nose is both fresh and inviting, offering a glimpse into the wine's complex and layered flavor profile. On the palate, the Chablis 1er Cru Montée de Tonnerre 2021 delights with its precise balance between crisp acidity and delicate fruitiness. The flavors of ripe lemon, pear, and white peach intertwine harmoniously, leading to a long, satisfying finish that leaves a lasting impression.

Product Description: Chablis with both muscle and cut. Sourced from 35-year-old vines in the heart of Montmains, this 2023 Premier Cru comes from a cool, blue clay and limestone slope beside the Serein River. It’s a site known for producing what many consider “textbook” Chablis, mineral-driven, structured, and finely etched, and this first Defaix bottling from the vineyard delivers exactly that. Raised in seasoned oak for 12 months, the wine marries a vibrant, fleshy texture with the precision of its terroir. Yellow plum and tangy grapefruit are set against chalk and struck-match complexity, while a dark-stone minerality threads through to a persistent, layered finish. There’s both immediacy and depth here, the kind of duality that makes great Montmains so compelling. It’s a wine that will sit comfortably alongside oysters and fine shellfish now, or gain further nuance over the next 5–8 years in bottle. The Maker Domaine Bernard Defaix was founded in 1959 by Bernard Defaix, and today it is run by his sons, Sylvain and Didier. The estate spans 27 hectares in the Chablis region, with vineyards that include some of the finest Premier Cru sites. The Defaix family is known for its commitment to organic farming, having adopted organic practices in 2009 and officially receiving certification in 2012. The family’s dedication to quality is evident in their small but carefully tended vineyards, where they focus on maintaining soil health and promoting biodiversity. With a focus on minimal intervention, they allow the natural character of the Chablis terroir to shine through in each bottle. The family’s expertise and hands-on approach extend to every aspect of their winemaking process. From vineyard management to fermentation, the Defaix family ensures that each wine is a true reflection of its origins. Their approach to fermentation uses wild yeasts, and the wines are aged in glass-lined tanks, which preserves the freshness and vibrancy that is characteristic of their style. The result is wines that are both expressive and pure, capturing the essence of Chablis and showcasing the region's unique terroir. Philosophy The Defaix family’s philosophy revolves around producing wines that authentically express the terroir of Chablis. By working in harmony with nature, they produce wines that are fresh, vibrant, and full of character. With a deep understanding of their land and a commitment to organic farming, they ensure that their wines reflect the purity and complexity of the Chablis vineyards. Their minimal intervention approach allows the wines to evolve naturally, with an emphasis on balance, expression, and respect for the environment.

Product Description A study in clarity and terroir, this Premier Cru Chablis reveals its roots with quiet precision. The 2023 Domaine Séguinot‑Bordet Chablis 1er Cru Vaillons is drawn from old vines on the right bank of the Serein River, where south and south-east exposures deliver both ripeness and minerality. Now under the care of Jean‑François Bordet, this historic family estate dates back to the 16th century and remains focused on pure, site-driven Chardonnay. Cool fermentation and a short period on lees have preserved the natural tension of the 2023 vintage. The result is a wine of poise and energy, where white citrus, crushed stone and saline lift meet a silken texture. A polished expression of Vaillons terroir, equally suited to freshly shucked oysters, grilled fish, or young cheeses.
