Domaine Bernard Defaix Petit Chablis 2025 Size::1 Bottle the Estate Old Block plantedScrewcap. Unusually for a Petit Chablis, the lions share of this cuve is drawn from a parcel of Kimmeridgian based soil.

Defaix has recently added two small parcels in Poinchy and Beines, which bring depth and complexity.
