The front
What to eat with it
Two dishes that work with this wine, two flavours you'll notice, and the right temperature to pour it. No wine-speak.
The back
Room for your note
Lines for a name, a few words and your signature. Have it sent straight to someone and they get a card you wrote, not a packing slip.

Why it's on our shelf
Defaix grows Pinot Noir on vines planted in 1900 — original rootstocks, never replaced. Producing a red wine in Chablis is almost unheard of; Daniel-Etienne says this may be the only one of its kind. The limestone and iron soils give a tartness that pushes against the very ripe red fruit, producing something that doesn't resemble other Bourgogne Rouge. A conversation piece that delivers beyond the conversation.
