Bernard Defaix, Chablis 2022

Place: Chablis, France

Grape: Chardonnay

Vibe: Classic, textural

Defaix and Chablis. The dream team. Ultra-reliable and ultra-delicious, this is a textbook example of what good Chablis should be. Bernard is especially fond of the 2022 vintage, praising its balance and structure. It’s a wine that is shining now but also has the poise to age gracefully for a couple of years. A benchmark bottle for lovers of classic, mineral-driven white Burgundy. ABV: 12.5%
