Chablis Grand Cru Les Clos Bernard Defaix 2019
Chardonnay 100%
Les Clos is the largest Grand Cru and certainly also one of the most known. Today, there is no more stone wall surrounding the area (no more ‘’clos”) but it must have been in the past which explains the name of this grand cru. This area Les Clos takes the whole slope from top to bottom with an exposure South/West. The soil is very stony from the Upper Jurassic period (Kimmeridgean only for this plot).
The vinification and ageing are carried on as for the Bougros and the Vaudesir.
The nose is complex and intense and the mouth really deep and powerful with a beautiful length. To serve around 13°C with a fine fish or a poultry.

Bernard Defaix
The fourth generation family of vine growers, Bernard Defaix started in 1959 with 2 hectares of vineyards. From the very beginning, they find a way to protect the vineyards from the spring frost and this allows them to be able to ensure a minimum amount of harvest each year. This in turn leads to stable growth of their clientele. Bernard's two sons have run the small business for the past 20 years.
