Domaine Daniel-Etienne Defaix 1er CRU COTE DE LECHET Chablis

The elegance of Les Lys is incomparable. A silky sensation in mouth, a perfume of a multitude of white flowers and great finesse. (12 x 75 cl)

Delicate aromas of roses, brooms, white flowers are evident while in the mouth lime and honey touches give way to a mineral finish. (12 x 75 cl)

Cultivated on 8 hectares of this Premier Cru located on the slopes of the village Milly and on the river Serein. Domaine Bernard Defaix are the biggest owners of this cru. The remarkable stony and sunny soil is captured in this powerful and complex wine. It flourishes with age and expresses mineral aromas reminiscent of gunflint. The Côte de Lechet is indeed one of the Premiers Crus of the Chablisian vineyard with the most exceptional ageing potential. (12 x 75 cl)

Daniel Dampt 1er Cru Chablis Cote de Lechet from France, Burgundy, Chablis by Daniel Dampt (12 x 75 cl)

Wine is ingrained in Daniel Dampts family history. Winegrowers dating back over 150 years, his domaine has merged with that of his father-in-law's, Jean Defaix and the estate currently counts, 26 hectares of vines in production, including 13 hectares of Chablis. An additional 13 hectares of Chablis 1er Cru are also owned from which Vaillons, Fourchaume, Cote de Lechet, Les Lys and Beauroy are produced. The recently constructed cellar is equipped with stainless steel tanks combined with the purchase of modern, powerful cellar equipment has enabled the group to increase its production, because all of Daniel Dampt's wines are produced and bottled by the domaine. This means all the wines are made from grapes grown in his own vineyards, which is a crucial factor in establishing the personality and quality of the wines. Known as the 'Gateway to Burgundy', the name Chablis conjures up great images in people's minds. The character of the wines is thanks to the Chardonnay vines being planted on unique chalky limestone and clay. When this is combined with a great climate where the sun shines throughout the growing season, the vineyard slopes can produce great wines. Excellent 1st cru of the left bank. This is a chardonnay with a very subtle nose of white flowers, while it is showing great intensity of flavour displaying full-biscuity notes and a mineral finish. (12 x 75 cl)

Austere and minerally in comparison to Les Lys but delicious even so. With concentrated, restrained fruit and tremendous elegance. None of Defaix's wines are oaked.

The Les Lys vineyard is the oldest in Chablis and sits on top of the Vaillon slope. The 97 has rich fruit with honeyed, mango flavours, balanced by some fresh mineral tones and long, long finish.

Top Chablis producer Daniel Defaix produces this fresh, steely wine from vines which are 70 years old. The vibrant citrus nose is followed by a honeyed palate with complex mineral flavours and amazing length. (12 x 75 cl)
