I chalk that up to Defaix’s commitment to INOX, even in the case of his 1er and GC along with his protracted aging on the lees before bottling and ultimately, release.

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2019

This Cabernet Sauvignon is inky dark in color, with layers of ripe, sweet, juicy, lush, dark fruits, a blast of oak and a sweet, ripe, round textured finish with hints of licorice and dark chocolate that completes the palate for a full complex flavor. It's a must have wine. — 3 months ago

Côte de Léchet Chablis 1er Cru Chardonnay 2009

The bottle had a chip on the lip that was concealed by the foil. (See upper left of photo). There wasn’t any glass released by removing the cap, so the bottle should not have been used. None-the-less, the wine was fine. The color was dark straw. On the nose the caramel aging notes are evident. On the palate more caramel notes along with oak, lemon, molasses, ginger, burnt sugar, and minerals. Medium bodied, high acid, medium alcohol, with a long finish. This is a 2009 and fully aged. — 21 days ago

Refreshing, citrusy and minerals. Lemony nose. A nice, not too serious wine to enjoy. — 5 months ago

@Spencer Fox Better in 2010, but that's the vintage variation.

Domaine du Vieux Château Vieilles Vignes Chablis Chardonnay 2020

I’m a little bit disappointed with this wine. For 3y it shows surprising age - deep golden color, with ripe yellow apples & Reine Claude plums, with a bit of fresh apple pie. Round and mellow - I miss the typical mineral, steely sharpness. Esp. at this age.
On the palate this is more structured, properly mineral & steely with racy, juicy acidity and a long finish of salty lemons. Nice depth, too.
Went well with the fish, by not sure if I’m going to buy it again.

That’s the style of the house. Rich, round and oily.
