The 2024 Domaine Jean Defaix Chablis is a classic mineral-driven Chardonnay from Burgundy, showcasing the purity and freshness that define premium Chablis. The nose reveals aromas of lemon zest, green apple and white peach layered with oyster shell, flint and subtle floral notes.
On the palate, it is crisp and finely textured, with bright citrus fruit, steely acidity and a clean saline finish delivering elegance and precision. The style is fresh, vibrant and beautifully food-friendly, with no heavy oak influence.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent Chablis for customers who enjoy fresh, mineral-driven Chardonnay with finesse rather than buttery richness. Elegant, refreshing and highly versatile, it pairs beautifully with oysters, grilled seafood, sushi or roast chicken. Best enjoyed young or over the next 5–7 years.
