Domaine Bernard Defaix Petit Chablis 2022

The 2022 Domaine Bernard Defaix Petit Chablis is a ringer. Whether you’re a seasoned Chablis enthusiast or just beginning to explore the world of French wines, the 2022 Domaine Bernard Defaix Petit Chablis is a must-try. With its crisp acidity, vibrant fruit flavors, and chalky minerality, this wine is a true expression of the terroir of Chablis, and in a bright and highly energetic style.

How can they do that for less?

Bernard Defaix is now a fourth generation family-owned winery with a specialty in vine-growing. This has been a slow build for the family, starting with just two hectares and growing it to today’s number which sits just below 30 hectares.

With all that land under vine, the family is able to make some of the best wines in the subregion from Premier Cru Chablis, all the way down to highly affordable Petit Chablis – what we have here today. Without their own estate vines, Petit Chablis prices are going to be closer to this wine’s release price at $30/bottle. Not where we get to be today.

Thanks to a deal weeks in the making, we’re able to lock into an electrifying Petit Chablis that perfectly encapsulates what the best wines here have in common: beautiful stone fruit, white flowers, with juicy citrus notes, lively acidity and piercing minerality. They just don’t offer them for this price anymore.
