About the Wine Maker 
Domaine Jean Defaix is best known for crafting some of Chablis’ most characterful Chardonnay, wines that capture the region’s hallmark purity and mineral tension. From their vineyards in the heart of Chablis, the estate produces whites that balance crisp acidity with layered flavours of green apple, citrus zest, and the distinctive flinty edge that defines the appellation. Decades of refinement have made their style a reference point in the region, consistently expressing Chablis’ cool-climate elegance with precision and finesse. Alongside their classic expressions, the domaine also explores selective oak ageing, adding subtle richness and complexity while preserving the clarity and freshness that make their wines so sought after.
