Adrien Defaix Cote de Lechet Vieilles Vignes 2021 Chablis

Sensational 1er cru Chablis here from vines planted in 1955. Adrien is the nephew of Bernard Defaix who has generously donated him some vineyard land to get start in the wine business. Lucky him! This is aged half in stainless steel and half in barrel, giving wonderful complexity, with a smoky, mineral accent on the palate and just a hint of something exotic and creamy from the old vines in the finish. Exemplary.
