“Domaine Bernard Defaix is a family estate, located in the heart of the Chablis vineyards. In this cuvee, young and old vines of Chablis 1er Cru Les Vaillons have been blended. The wine from the young vine brings freshness and floras aromas. The wine produced by the old vines gives structure and fineness. The final blend is a fine and harmonious wine.”

(Winamaker's Notes)

"This wine comes from vineyards located in the village of Prisse in the Macon region of southern Burgundy. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks followed by 10 months aging on the lees and 3 months in the bottle before release. The wine has a brilliant, pale gold color. With floral aromas and citrus flavors which are balanced by a nice, taut, bracing minerality."

(Wine Importer's Notes)

• “Passion fruit and orange flavors highlight this elegant, bright Riesling. Well-balanced, with an intense core of fruit, picking up a chalky sensation on the finish. Drink now through 2015.”

Winemaker's Notes: "A beautiful nose of pear, clove, vanilla bean and floral notes of almond and orange blossom lead to a broad mouth showing mid-palate flavors of honeydew melon, fresh quince and sweet lemon. The balanced finish lingers with a golden apple sweetness. "

"Lots of mineral, apple pie and sage aromas and flavors follow through to a full body, with plenty of fruit and a fresh finish. A complex white. Friulano, Pinot Grigio, Sauvignon, Malvasia and Ribolla. Best from 2009 through 2012."

"This crisp white brims with rich layers of fruit, offering grapefruit, pear and apple flavors in abundance. Finishes with a deft balance of softness and lacy acidity. Drink now."
