The 2025 Domaine Bernard Defaix Chablis is a classic 100% Chardonnay from the heart of Chablis in northern Burgundy. Grown on Kimmeridgian clay-limestone soils, it shows fresh green apple, lemon and grapefruit alongside the distinctive stony mineral character associated with the region.
On the palate, it is crisp, precise and persistent, with bright citrus fruit, fine acidity and a clean mineral finish. The wine undergoes slow fermentation and is matured on fine lees in stainless steel for around 8–12 months, preserving freshness and purity without oak influence.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for those who enjoy Chablis with citrus freshness, lively acidity and a distinctly mineral edge. Enjoy from 2026–2029, served well chilled. Ideal with oysters, grilled prawns, fresh seafood, barramundi, roast chicken or goat’s cheese.
