Bernard Defaix Chablis 1er Cru Cote de Lechet 2022

The Côte de Lechet is the principal holding of the Defaix family; they own 8ha (18 acres) of this Premier Cru. Near Vaillons, on the Left Bank of the Serein, this area of premiers crus is known for its high-toned, airy style, with abundant chalky minerality. 2022 is an excellent, balanced vintage, ripe but dry and mineral. This style could be the (excellent!) future for Chablis in the climate change era.
