2009 Daniel-Etienne Defaix Chablis Premier Cru Vaillon

Producer: Daniel-Etienne Defaix   Region: Chablis, Burgundy, France  Varietal: Chardonnay  Year: 2009  Winemaker Notes:  "Grapes are planted in a steeply sloped (28 degrees) hill in the original parcel of “Vaillon”» with a southeast exposure. The soil here is particularly influenced by iron deposits which yields a wine of fruit and spice and great density. The Vaillons is influenced by notes of “soubois” and, although lacking the elegance of its two companion 1er Crus, it is often the most generous wine of the domaine. The average age of the vines is 45 years."  Alcohol: 13%  *Price and availability in store may vary. Vintage date may differ from pictured.
