Chablis Domaine Defaix Bernard, 2023

Chablis Domaine Defaix Bernard 2023 is a classic expression of Chardonnay from one of Burgundy’s most respected northern appellations. Bright, mineral, and effortlessly precise, it captures the fresh, limestone-driven character that has made Chablis a benchmark for crisp white wine.

Tasting Notes
Pale straw in the glass with shimmering green reflections, this Chablis offers a clean, elegant profile from the first pour. The nose is fresh and lifted, showing citrus peel, green apple, white flowers, and a distinct flinty, chalky edge that speaks to its Chablis origins. On the palate, it is lively and focused, with brisk acidity, fine minerality, and flavors of lemon, pear, and subtle stone fruit. The finish is long, dry, and refreshing, with the kind of tension that gives Chablis its signature style. While delicious young, it should gain extra nuance over the next few years.

Production
Made from Chardonnay in Bourgogne, this wine reflects the cool climate and limestone-rich soils that define Chablis. The grapes are typically harvested with freshness and precision in mind, then vinified to preserve purity of fruit and the region’s saline, mineral character.

Food & Serving
An excellent match for oysters, shellfish, grilled white fish, sushi, goat cheese, and light poultry dishes. Serve chilled at around 8–10°C; decanting is not usually necessary, though a short aeration can help open the wine if desired.

Producer
Domaine Defaix Bernard is a family producer rooted in the Chablis tradition, known for making wines that emphasize clarity, terroir, and balance. The domaine has built a strong reputation for crafting authentic Chablis with a distinctly mineral-driven style that reflects the region at its best.
