{"product_id":"daniel-etienne-defaix-cote-de-lechet-chablis-1er-cru-2014","title":"Daniel-Etienne Defaix 'Côte de Lechet' Chablis 1er Cru, 2014","description":"\u003cp\u003e100% Chardonnay. The 2014 Daniel-Etienne Defaix Côte de Lechet is a particularly vibrant expression of the vintage, marrying ripe fruit and generous texture with the piercing mineral character of this steep, Kimmeridgian site. The nose shows lemon zest, mandarin, yellow apple and white flowers, alongside oyster shell, wet chalk and a subtle struck-flint note. On the palate, the wine is full and concentrated but beautifully lifted, with ripe stone fruit and citrus framed by a firm saline acidity; the texture is broad and almost creamy through the mid-palate, while the finish turns distinctly chalky, smoky and dry. At this stage, the 2014 has developed greater aromatic complexity without losing the energy that made the vintage so successful in Chablis, and the long élevage gives it an appealing depth and polish. A serious, age-worthy Côte de Lechet, with the vintage’s combination of richness and tension particularly well suited to the cuvée’s naturally mineral profile. Enjoy with roasted turbot with beurre blanc, lemon and lightly sautéed morels.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rosenthal Wine Merchants","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48731284177137,"sku":null,"price":80.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0080\/5683\/2053\/files\/FullSizeRender_d3004204-f134-452a-98d6-53711091fbd4.heic?v=1755885006","url":"https:\/\/thewiseolddog.com\/products\/daniel-etienne-defaix-cote-de-lechet-chablis-1er-cru-2014","provider":"The Wise Old Dog","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
