Vieilles Vignes Chablis aoc Daniel-Etienne Defaix 2018

Chablis Vieilles Vignes by Daniel-Etienne Defaix winery is an elegant wine made with 100% Chardonnay grapes coming from 45-year-old vineyards. Their roots dig into a mineral soil, very rich in fossils and sand, and give the wine an extraordinary mineral profile. Into the glass it is golden yellow with amber shades. The bouquet is intense, with notes of candied fruits, citrus and flowers. The sip is full-bodied, perfectly balanced between minerality and freshness. It’s fresh, structured, recommended with appetizers, fish, oysters and bourguignonne snails.

The foundation of the William Fevre winery is attributed to Monsieur William in the 1959, even if the roots of the family Fèvre in the Chablis village are ancient, dating back over 250 years.
The vineyards are situated on ancient lands in the earth of the Chablis terroirs, characterized by a soil and a subsoil that are rich of fossils and minerals. That gives a special taste to the wines of the Domaine William Fevre. The harvest of grapes is manual; following there is a careful and accurate selection of the best grapes. The purpose of the wine-making is to preserve the freshness and the mineral characteristics; for this reason old barriques are primarily used.
