Tasting Note
Bernard Defaix Chablis 2023 is bright, precise, and classically mineral in style. Aromas of lemon zest, green apple, pear skin, and subtle white florals lead into a crisp, focused palate. Fresh citrus and orchard fruit are driven by lively acidity and a firm chalky backbone. Clean, saline, and refreshing, it finishes dry and taut—pure, no-frills Chablis with excellent clarity and tension.
