Daniel-Etienne Defaix Chablis Premier Cru Vaillon 2013

This is from a domaine that has been in Chablis since the 1600s, and several generations ago made the decision to release when they found the wine ready, which enables us to have this Vaillon Premier Cru from 2013. The nose opens with a light hit of stone fruits and hazelnuts in addition to a clean minerality and just there beeswax. On the palate there is a sense of texture from the extended time in bottle bound up by good acidity and light flavor notes that echo the nose.
