Working almost exclusively with Chardonnay across roughly 70 acres, Defaix subjects every harvest to an exacting triage, sending all but the finest lots to the négociant trade and reserving only a small fraction for the estate's own label. That fruit is then aged far longer than nearly any other producer in the appellation dares, which is why a Defaix Premier Cru so often arrives on shelves a decade or more after the vintage on the label.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis \"Vaillons\" comes from a steeply sloped, 28-degree hillside within the original Vaillons parcel, planted on iron-rich clay-limestone soils with a southeast exposure that gives the wine its density and character.
