Chablis 1er Cru Vaillons, Domaine Daniel-Etienne Defaix, Burgundy, France 2013
Chablis, France
Tasting Notes
Daniel Etienne Defaix Chablis Premier Cru Vaillons 2013. This Chablis is pressed very slowly, which takes about three hours. It is then left to settle for 18 hours before the fermentation. Alcoholic fermentation with natural yeast at 18ºC for three weeks in stainless steel tanks and then through malolactic fermentation. The fruit and spicy from the terroir is revealed slowly, with a round and powerful in mouth like a buttered brioche, with a dry flinty start in the mouth, opens to acaica honey, lemon and lime fruits with a massively long creamy finish and on the nose, flowers and honey to follow.
