{"product_id":"domaine-bernard-defaix-chablis-2025","title":"Domaine Bernard Defaix Chablis 2025","description":"\u003cp\u003ePure, mineral and classically styled, Domaine Bernard Defaix Chablis 2025 is a precise expression of Chardonnay from one of Burgundy’s most distinctive cool-climate appellations. The wine is drawn from four parcels of mature vines situated around Milly and Poinchy on the left bank of the Serein River, with the vines more than 30 years of age. Domaine Bernard Defaix farms its vineyards organically, and this exact Chablis is certified organic by Ecocert. The domaine’s Chablis vineyards extend across the heart of the appellation, where Chardonnay develops the freshness, mineral character and persistence that define the estate’s village wine. The fruit is gently pressed before undergoing slow alcoholic fermentation, with vinification carried out entirely in stainless steel to preserve freshness and appellation typicity. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the 2025 release, fermentation occurs spontaneously and the wine matures on its fine lees, building texture without obscuring its crystalline Chablis character.  Aromatically, the wine shows a mineral-driven profile complemented by citrus, white flowers and fresh orchard fruit, while the palate is energetic and focused with bright acidity. Green apple and melon add restrained fruit richness, balanced by the stony tension and saline character associated with classic Chablis. The finish is long, clean and youthful, with citrus zest and a lingering saline quality providing definition. Domaine Bernard Defaix Chablis 2025 offers a finely balanced combination of fruit, acidity and mineral structure that makes it particularly well suited to seafood, shellfish and fish dishes. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOSE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Mineral and aromatic\u003cbr\u003eFlinty, rocky minerality with lemon and grapefruit, subtle white flowers and fresh green apple. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePALATE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Crisp and energetic\u003cbr\u003eGreen apple, melon and citrus are carried by concentrated acidity and a precise mineral backbone, giving the wine freshness and excellent drive. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFINISH\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Long and saline\u003cbr\u003eClean and persistent with stony minerality, saline freshness and lingering bitter lemon zest. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFiner Details:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBrand - Domaine Bernard Defaix\u003cbr\u003eStyle - White Wine\u003cbr\u003eVarietal - Chardonnay\u003cbr\u003eCountry - France\u003cbr\u003eRegion - Burgundy\u003cbr\u003eAppellation - Chablis\u003cbr\u003eVintage - 2025\u003cbr\u003eABV - 12.5%\u003cbr\u003eSize - 750ml\u003cbr\u003eClassification - Village\u003cbr\u003eCertification - Organic\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Domaine Bernard Defaix","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44224728236119,"sku":"BERNDEF-CH-25","price":74.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0043\/9258\/3217\/files\/e91b062f-6427-40e7-8778-5a2307572b67.webp?v=1788413189","url":"https:\/\/kentstreetcellars.com.au\/products\/domaine-bernard-defaix-chablis-2025","provider":"Kent Street Cellars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
