The 2025 Domaine Bernard Defaix Petit Chablis is a fresh, mineral-driven 100% Chardonnay from Chablis in northern Burgundy. Produced from vines planted on the stony plateau sites of the appellation, it captures the bright, lively side of Chardonnay, with citrus, green apple and delicate floral characters supported by a distinctive mineral edge. Domaine Bernard Defaix farms its estate vineyards organically.
On the palate, it is crisp and energetic, with refreshing acidity, clean citrus fruit and a light stony character through the finish. The domaine bottles its Petit Chablis around eight months after harvest specifically to retain freshness and youthful vibrancy.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a great choice for those who enjoy Chablis with bright fruit, lively acidity and clean mineral character. Best enjoyed young, over the next 2–3 years, served well chilled. Ideal with oysters, grilled prawns, fish and chips, fresh seafood, goat’s cheese or a charcuterie platter.
