Chablis Vieilles Vignes, Domaine Daniel-Etienne Defaix, Burgundy, France 2020
Chablis, France
Tasting Notes
The richness almost insolent of this Chablis makes it an ideal wine for aperitif, an excellent companion of fish pâtés, oysters and plates of seafood. This Chablis can flirt with a roasted andouillette or snails of Burgundy with Chablis and butter persillade.Left on the lees and stirred for 12 months. Bottled under nitrogen without fining or filtration. Left in bottle for between six and twelve months before release.

The wines are bottled under nitrogen without fining and filtration.
