On every bottle
Every bottle comes with a card
One side tells you what to eat with it and what it tastes like. The other side is empty — write a note and the bottle becomes a present.
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
2013 Côte de Léchet, released in 2026. Most producers wouldn't hold a Premier Cru for 13 years. Defaix does — because this 38% south-east slope needs that time. The 2013 won Tastevinage gold at Clos de Vougeot and then sat until the wine decided it was ready. What you get now is a Premier Cru past its awkward phase: mineral precision that has found its voice, lemon rind and chalk in the finish, and a richness that young Chablis simply cannot deliver.
