Cote De Lachet Premier Cru Chablis

฿฿

SKU:WWW1847DHArchive
This wine starts to reveal its poor soil and its traditional mineral notes. The fatness gives a buttered end with surmatured fruits. Perfect pairing with Bresse chicken or veal with cream and morels. The Defaix vineyard holdings in the Cote de Lechet are placed at a 38 degree slope facing southeast. The majority of the Defaix vines are situated within the Clos des Moines parcel. In all, Defaix owns 3.5 hectares of this special 1er Cru which gives the most emphatic and pure expression of the minerality that is the mark of this unique and compelling appellation. As with the other 1er Crus, the vines are 45 years of age on average which results in consistently smaller yields and greater concentration. Perhaps the most complex of the trio of 1er Crus, Defaix promotes the Cote de Lechet as a fine accompaniment to all the white meats, citing specifically rack of veal, farm-raised chicken (best when immersed in cr?me and married to morels!) or how about risotto with black or white truffles.
