Adrien Defaix Chablis 1er Cru Cote de Lechet 2023

Dmitri Volkov - Easily the best bottle I've opened this month

9/10

Saw this on a list at a restaurant, looked it up and ordered a bottle online. So glad I did. The finish just goes on and on — citrus and mineral notes that linger without being heavy. Already ordered another couple of bottles to have on hand.

Rosa Paredes - Proper grown-up wine

8/10

The guy at my local wine shop recommended this and he wasn't wrong. It's got this lovely stony, flinty thing going on with lemon and peach underneath. Not a wine you just knock back — you actually want to sit with it and pay attention. Really well made.

Luciano Bianchi - Nice but needs time maybe?

7/10

Had this at a friend's dinner party and thought it was good but felt like it was holding back a bit. The acidity is quite firm and the fruit hasn't really opened up yet. Might be one to stick in the cupboard for a year or two? Decent wine though, just not sure it's ready.

Celeste Moreno - Stunning Chablis, worth every penny

9/10

Bought this for my wife's birthday dinner and we were both blown away. Really crisp and minerally with lovely citrus notes that kept us going back for more. At £40 it's not cheap but for a Premier Cru Chablis it's actually pretty fair. We paired it with roast chicken and it was perfect.

Derek Chang - Bit pricey for a midweek drink

7/10

It's a solid Chablis, no question. Nice lemony freshness and that classic mineral backbone. But at nearly £40 I'd save it for a special occasion rather than cracking it open on a Tuesday. For everyday drinking there are cheaper options that get you 80% of the way there.

Samir Patel - Great mineral Chablis

8/10

I'm a sucker for Chablis and this one delivers. Really clean citrus and stone fruit with that chalky mineral quality you want from Côte de Léchet. 14% is quite punchy but honestly you wouldn't know it — carries it really well. Had it with fish pie on a Friday night, lovely stuff.
