Bernard Defaix Estate
Visit Bernard Defaix Estate is located in the heart of the Chablis vineyards, in Milly. Fourth generation of a family of winegrowers, Bernard Defaix settled in 1959 with 2 hectares. Today the estate extends over 27 hectares, half of which are in AOP Chablis 1er Cru. The first step in successful winemaking takes place in the vineyard because "to make good wine, you need good grapes". The vines are managed organically with very rigorous monitoring, which allows the grapes to reach their best level of maturity and expression.
Thanks to skillful vinification and aging on lees in vats, the wines of Bernard Defaix estate gain fat and protect themselves against oxidation. 
Chardonnay expresses itself here with class through superb typical terroirs.

"Fresh and crisp with a nice acidity. It lacks a bit of richness and concentration at the moment, but I think it just needs to age a bit to gain complexity. A mineral, fresh and vibrant wine. Given the quality of Domaine Bernard Defaix, I think it will deserve a better score in a while." (Decanter 2020) A perfect expression of the terroir!
